Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay was not on the team bus as it arrived at their hotel in Boston after missing Thursday’s training session because of an upset stomach.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Napoli player, who has been the Scots’ leading man in recent campaigns, was part of the group as they travelled from their base camp in Charlotte.<\/p>\n

However, the 29-year-old made his own onward journey with a doctor in what is believed to be a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n

Steve Clarke’s side get their first World Cup in 28 years under way when they face Haiti on Saturday evening (Sunday 02:00 BST) at Boston Stadium in Foxborough.<\/p>\n

They will also face Morocco and Brazil in the group stage.<\/p>\n

McTominay, who has scored 15 goals across 70 caps, found the net in Scotland’s convincing 4-0 win over Bolivia<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Scotland fans, who have been flooding to Boston in huge numbers, will be anxious for an update from Clarke who is due to address the media on Friday.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Thursday’s media conference, fellow midfielder Kenny McLean said of the situation: “Hopefully that doesn’t spread. Fingers crossed Scott will be fine. I’m sure he will be.<\/p>\n

“I don’t need to speak too much on him, everyone knows how big he is.<\/p>\n

“It’s a team effort and always will be, but when you have special, special players like that you want them to be available. I’m sure he will be.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
