Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong has tested positive for COVID-19, with Celtic star Ryan Christie and Arsenal's Kieran Tierney required to self-isolate.
The trio will all miss tomorrow's clash with Israel, while Christie will also be out for the Old Firm match on 17 October as he's required to self-isolate for 14-days.
The Scotland National Team issued a statement saying that all other members of the squad returned negative results, although a physiotherapist and masseur will be required to self-isolate, in addition to Armstrong, Tierney and Christie.
The Scotland National Team Chief Medical Consultant, Dr John MacLean, has been in constant dialogue with the Scottish Government’s Clinical Adviser on COVID & Sports throughout.
Manager Steve Clarke said: “While this is obviously disappointing news the most important thing is the health and safety of the individuals involved and the wider group.
“As soon as we were informed of the positive test, the Chief Medical Consultant immediately contacted the Scottish Government’s clinical adviser, who in turn alerted the local Health Protection Team.
“We have informed the respective clubs from whom we have borrowed the players and backroom staff and we now have to prepare for a huge match ahead tomorrow.”
