Scott McTominay misses training ahead of Scotland's World Cup opener
Summary

Scott McTominay was absent from Scotland's training session on June 11 due to a stomach issue. The 29-year-old midfielder, who plays for Napoli, missed practice in Charlotte, North Carolina as the team prepares for their World Cup match against Haiti on Sunday. Defender Scott McKenna also missed the session due to a knock, although both players are expected to be fit for the Group C opener in Boston. Scotland aims to improve on their last World Cup appearance in 1998, where they faced Brazil and Morocco. McTominay has been a significant contributor to Napoli's successes in Serie A, including scoring 12 goals in the 2024-25 season.
