Exciting Scotland prodigy Ben Doak has been withdrawn from the Scotland squad ahead of Euro 2024.
Doak was called up among Steve Clarke's 28-man provisional squad despite not playing a competitive game since December. And it was hoped that the 18-year-old could make his mark on the competition in Germany.
But with just over a week until the opening match against the hosts, the Liverpool youngster will no longer be part of Clarke's available group.
It adds to a lengthy list of players missing the tournament with Lewis Ferguson, Aaron Hickey, Lyndon Dykes, Jacob Brown and Nathan Patterson already ruled out.

Clarke has given striker Tommy Conway a late call to bolster the forward options though.
The Bristol City forward scored against Turkey for the under-21s on Tuesday and is been handed a first senior opportunity after Dykes' campaign was ended by a shock training injury last week.
Conway netted 12 goals from 43 games at club level this season including a memorable FA Cup winner versus West Ham.
The 21-year-old will compete with Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland in the attack.
A Scotland statement read: "Ahead of Friday's match against Finland, Steve Clarke has called Tommy Conway into his squad.
"Sadly, Ben Doak has been withdrawn from the #EURO2024 squad through injury. Ben – we know we'll see you entertaining crowds at Hampden in a Scotland shirt soon."
