Scott McTominay has traveled to Boston separately from the rest of the Scotland team due to an upset stomach, missing Thursday's training session. He made the journey alongside a doctor as a precaution ahead of Scotland's first World Cup match in 28 years against Haiti on Saturday evening. McTominay is a key player for Scotland, having scored 15 goals in 70 appearances, including one in a recent 4-0 win over Bolivia. There is concern over the potential spread of illness within the squad. Coach Steve Clarke is expected to provide an update on McTominay's condition during a media conference on Friday.
