Summary

  • Scott McTominay trained on Friday, putting Scotland's key midfielder back in contention for Saturday's World Cup opener against Haiti after he missed the previous session.
  • An upset stomach kept the 29-year-old out on Thursday, and he traveled separately from Scotland's Charlotte base with a doctor as a precaution.
  • McTominay arrives as one of Scotland's main threats, with 15 goals in 70 caps and another in last Saturday's 4-0 win over Bolivia.
  • Scotland are opening their first World Cup in 28 years and still have Morocco and Brazil to come in the group stage.
