Sebastien Pocognoli's inaugural Scotland squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures appears to have avoided further injury setbacks ahead of his debut as head coach. Despite initial absences, none of the 28 players named in his extended squad have withdrawn due to injury following their latest club matches.
Notable omissions from Pocognoli's original selection include Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay, who is recovering from minor heart surgery, and forwards Lawrence Shankland of Rangers and Che Adams from Torino, both sidelined with injuries.
Among the goalkeepers, Angus Gunn is now a regular starter for San Jose Earthquakes after his move from Nottingham Forest. In midfield, Billy Gilmour scored his second senior goal for Napoli and was named man of the match in their 1-1 draw with Fiorentina. Lewis Ferguson continues to captain Bologna, starting every game.
The absence of Shankland and Adams has opened opportunities for other forwards, with Oli McBurnie starting for Hull City and Robbie Ure featuring for new club Sevilla. Scotland's Nations League campaign is set to commence with an away fixture against Slovenia on Saturday.
