Scotland’s Scott McTominay has been sent home from the squad’s training camp in Spain with a throat virus.

The 24-year-old Manchester United player will miss Friday’s match in Moldova but could return for Monday’s home tie with Denmark.

One more win for the Scots will secure a World Cup play-off place.

“It’s disappointing to lose Scott, but it’s going to be a big chance for someone else to play in the team,” said Scotland head coach Steve Clarke.

“We have good cover at centre-back and good cover in midfield.”

McTominay, capped 28 times, scored his first international goal against Israel last month, Scotland’s winner in the 3-2 victory, and has featured in defence and midfield for Clarke.

Defender Grant Hanley (injured) and suspended attacking pair Ryan Christie and Lyndon Dykes will also miss Friday’s game.

Choose your starting XI. It’s up to you how to approach it – you could go for the team you WANT the manager to pick or the one you THINK he will.
