Euro 2020: Grant Hanley a doubt for Scotland qualifiers

Grant Hanley earned the most recent of his 29 Scotland caps against Costa Rica in March 2018

Norwich City's Grant Hanley is a doubt for Scotland's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Russia and Belgium after suffering a groin strain in training.

Hanley, 27, was one of three centre-backs included in Steve Clarke's squad on Tuesday for the double-header.

However, following a scan, the defender has been ruled out of Norwich's English Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday.

"I'm not sure he can travel with Scotland," said manager Daniel Farke.

Scotland face Russia at Hampden Park on Friday, 6 October before hosting Belgium three days later.

Hanley has earned 29 caps since making his international debut against Northern Ireland in February 2011.

He was expected to make his first appearance under Clarke after missing out on selection since a 1-0 defeat by Costa Rica in March 2018.
