Scott McTominay is fit to face Haiti in Scotland’s 2026 World Cup opener on Saturday — but central defender Scott McKenna will miss out through injury.
McTominay was nursing a stomach bug and travelled from the team’s base in Charlotte to Boston separate from the squad as a precautionary measure, but head coach Steve Clarke has confirmed the Napoli midfielder is “perfect” and “ready to go.”
But in a setback, McKenna will be absent. “Scott will miss out,” Clarke said. “He’s had an issue with his calf, he’s almost there and will probably train Monday.”
This World Cup has been 28 years in the waiting for Scotland, with their last foray back in 1998. Thousands of Scotland fans have made the trip over the Atlantic for their opener with Haiti, which takes place in Foxborough, 25 miles outside of Boston.
