Gilmour still sidelined: Napoli midfielder misses out on Scotland duty | OneFootball

Billy Gilmour has not yet fully recovered from his injury. This is confirmed by his absence from the Scotland squad for the November international break. The Azzurri midfielder will therefore remain in Naples, where he will be monitored by Antonio Conte’s medical staff ahead of his return to the pitch after the break.

Scotland, Gilmour still absent: Clarke leaves him in Naples

The number 6’s last appearance dates back to ten days ago, in the match against Como. On that occasion, Antonio Conte spoke of a simple “inflammation,” but several media outlets instead reported an “adductor problem,” which is said to be slowing down the former Brighton player’s recovery. An injury, therefore, more troublesome than expected, which has forced him to miss the latest Champions League and Serie A matches. The same goes for Leonardo Spinazzola, who is also sidelined with a muscle problem. Both have not been called up by their respective national teams and will continue their personalized training at Castel Volturno. The common goal is to be fully available by Napoli-Atalanta, scheduled for November 22.

Head coach Steve Clarke has released the official list of players who will take part in the matches against Greece and Denmark, valid for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Goalkeepers: Scott Bain, Craig Gordon, Liam Kelly. Defenders: Josh Doig, Grant Hanley, Jack Hendry, Aaron Hickey, Ross McCrorie, Scott McKenna, Anthony Ralston, Andy Robertson, John Souttar, Kieran Tierney. Midfielders: Ryan Christie, Lewis Ferguson, Ben Gannon-Doak, John McGinn, Kenny McLean, Scott McTominay, Lennon Miller. Forwards: Che Adams, Lyndon Dykes, George Hirst, Lawrence Shankland.
