The Scotland national team return to action in just over four weeks as Steve Clarke’s side begin their World Cup preparations by taking on both Japan and Ivory Coast next month.
Ahead of the pre-tournament friendlies, the 62-year-old head coach has several injury concerns, with the likes of John McGinn, Ben Gannon-Doak, and Lawrence Shankland all missing games for their respective club sides in recent months, alongside many others.
It is not all bad news, though, with Billy Gilmour returning to action with Napoli in recent weeks, while others have declared themselves ready to go for Scotland’s World Cup adventure in the Americas in four months' time.
Here we detail every injury concern Scotland currently has, their expected return date and their chances of being fit and available for the summer World Cup.

8. John McGinn - Aston Villa
