An injury sustained by Scott McTominay has sparked further concerns for Scotland ahead of Euro 2024.
The Manchester United midfielder was forced off the field late in the game during Erik ten Hag's side's 1-1 draw with Burnley this afternoon.
It's believed the 27-year-old was clutching his knee as he went down on the pitch. He could be seen punching the ground in frustration.
He received medical attention before limping off with the assistance of the physios.
McTominay was a second-half substitute himself, with the decision to bring him on for youngster Kobbie Mainoo met with boos and jeers by the Old Trafford faithful.
With just seven weeks to go until the start of the European Championships, the fitness of McTominay is of the utmost priority for Steve Clarke and the nation.
There are already major concerns over the conditions of Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson, Lewis Ferguson, Kieran Tierney and Stuart Armstrong.
It is expected Ten Hag will provide an update on McTominay during his post-match media duties.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
