Lyndon Dykes has been sent for an assessment following an injury scare during Scotland training.

Pictures emerged on social media appearing to show the QPR striker being stretchered off the training pitch at Lesser Hampden. The photographs were taken by a member of the public looking down into the City Stadium.

Scotland are due to jet out to Faro before Monday's friendly match against Gibraltar.

And it's not yet known if Dykes will be part of Steve Clarke's travelling squad for that encounter.

The leg injury picked up in training comes just two weeks before Euro 2024 kicks off against Germany.

Dykes has scored nine goals across 36 internationals and has often been the focal point of Clarke’s attack.

The 28-year-old former Livingston forward played in all eight of the qualifiers, starting five of them, and scoring once.
