McTominay travels separately to Boston after bug

Scott McTominay traveled separately to Boston on June 10, 2024, as a precautionary measure before Scotland's World Cup opener against Germany. The midfielder experienced a stomach bug, leading him to journey with a doctor to avoid potential transmission to the rest of the squad. McTominay has been a key player for Scotland, scoring seven goals in their qualification campaign for Euro 2024. His absence from the main team travel group was confirmed by manager Steve Clarke, who stated that the decision was made to protect the health of the entire squad. Despite the minor illness, McTominay is expected to be available for the match.
