Fletcher doubt for Scotland

Steven Fletcher
12 April 2012

Steven Fletcher is expected to withdraw from the Scotland squad for their Euro 2012 Euro qualifying game against Liechtenstein at Hampden on Tuesday.

The Wolves striker will have a foot injury assessed on Sunday by the Hampden medical team but is a major doubt.

Defender Steven Whittaker is carrying a calf knock and will also be assessed but striker Chris Iwelumo is again out with a hamstring injury which caused him to miss the draw against Lithuania in Kaunas on Friday night.

Defenders Lee Wallace and Kevin McNaughton are back in the squad after missing the Lithuania match with foot and groin injuries respectively.

Goalkeeper Iain Turner has been drafted in as a precaution after David Marshall hurt his elbow.

Scotland assistant boss Peter Houston said: "Whittaker might not train Sunday but should be okay.

"Fletcher will be assessed later on Sunday and the physios and doctors will let us know.

"Iwelumo is out, he didn't turn up, he was struggling.

"But Lee Wallace has turned up and he will do some work with the physios and Kevin McNaughton will join us."
