Scott McTominay

Analysis: McTominay took two shots as Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in their World Cup opener, but was only able to find the post. The Napoli midfielder recovered from an illness in the lead-up to the game and was able to play the full 90 minutes. He wasn't able to be involved as he would have liked in the game, likely due to the heat and the illness he had in the week. He scored 10 goals this season for Napoli in Serie A and a further four in the Champions League.

Back in team training

McTominay (illness) missed Scotland's final training session in North Carolina on Thursday due to a stomach complaint but has returned to training with the team for the first time after recovering from illness, according to BBC Sport Scotland.

Analysis: McTominay rejoined Scotland's first-team group quickly after his one-session absence, allaying any concerns over his fitness. As one of Scotland's most influential players, his return to full training ahead of the tie against Haiti will come as a significant relief to the squad and supporters alike.
