Scotland call up a Manchester United teenager to replace Billy Gilmour after the midfielder is ruled out of the World Cup due to a knee injury. Gilmour picks up the injury in Scotland’s friendly against Curacao, and the problem is assessed as serious enough to prevent him from taking part in the tournament. Following his withdrawal, Scotland make a squad change to ensure they have cover in the midfield for the World Cup campaign. One report says the call-up is for a young player currently contracted to Manchester United, named as Gilmour’s replacement. The adjustment follows tournament squad requirements that allow teams to replace injured players before or during the competition, subject to medical checks and approval. While the outlets agree on the reason for the change—Gilmour’s knee injury sustained against Curacao—they differ only on the emphasis placed on the timing and the identity of the replacement. Across coverage, the central point is that Scotland replace Gilmour with a Manchester United teenager to keep their World Cup squad options intact.
