Scotland are preparing for their World Cup opener against Haiti with midfielder Scott McTominay considered fit despite a recent stomach complaint. Multiple reports say McTominay misses part of training ahead of the match, including sitting out the final session, as the team manages concern over an upset stomach. The Independent and Yahoo Sports both describe the issue as an unsettled/upset stomach leading to his absence from the squad during a training period. The Guardian adds that the midfielder is absent from Thursday training before Scotland travel and then take on Haiti in their first World Cup match in 28 years. Soccer News similarly states that Scotland were waiting on his fitness but expect him to play in the opener. Reports also frame McTominay as a key figure for Steve Clarke’s side. While the team appears confident he will be available, the timing of his participation and the reason for his earlier absence indicate the situation is being monitored close to match day.
