Scottish trio train individually ahead of World Cup clash with Brazil
Summary

Scott McKenna, Aaron Hickey, and Lewis Ferguson did not participate in Scotland's group training session on Sunday. Instead, they engaged in individual work at the team's training base in Charlotte, North Carolina. The players are preparing for Scotland's final Group C match against Brazil on Wednesday. Hickey, who missed the defeat against Morocco, and McKenna, dealing with a calf injury, were both seen training separately. Kieran Tierney returned to practice after being substituted due to cramp during the last match. A draw against Brazil would likely advance Scotland to the knockout stages for the first time.
