The midfielder suffered an agonising blow when he was ruled out of the tournament in the USA after picking up a knee injury in the warm-up game against Curacao at Hampden Park.

However, Gilmour is now firmly on the road to recovery and back on the training pitch as Napoli prepare for the new season in Serie A. Napoli stated: "Billy Gilmour has returned to training with the first team squad at our base."
Gilmour is still expected to miss the opening games of the season and will reportedly be ready for a return to action at the end of next month.
The 25-year-old missed a large chunk of last season after undergoing surgery for a groin injury, which sidelined him for three months.
