Billy Gilmour has been ruled out of Scotland's Group D showdown with Croatia after testing positive for Covid-19, the Scottish Football Association has announced.
The 20-year-old Chelsea midfielder impressed in his first Scotland start on Friday as he helped the team earn a goalless draw with England at Wembley — a result which leaves Steve Clarke's side still in with a shot at qualifying for the knock-out stages.
But Scotland have now received a major blow ahead of the must-win Croatia clash with Gilmour unavailable.
An SFA statement read: “The Scottish FA can confirm that a member of the Scotland national team playing squad, Billy Gilmour, has tested positive for Covid-19.
"Having liaised with Public Health England since the positive test was recorded, Billy will now self-isolate for 10 days and therefore miss tomorrow's Uefa Euro 2020 Group D match against Croatia at Hampden."
