A devastated Kieran Tierney held his face and was comforted by Andy Robertson as he was stretchered off during Scotland’s clash with Swizterland.
The Arsenal defender suffered what looked like a serious leg blow as he competed for the ball with Dan Ndoye in the second half of the Euro 2024 clash.
He will miss their pivotal final group game against Hungary, manager Steve Clarke has confirmed.
Scotland’s medics rushed on to treat Tierney and he was taken off with the game poised at 1-1, which it finished.
Later Tierney was pictured back on his feet but covering his face with his shirt in the tunnel.

Tierney, who suffered three seperate injuries last season on loan at Real Sociedad, has seen his career blighted by a litany of setbacks.
Scotland manager Steve Clarke said: ‘Yeah, [he’s] definitely out. It looks pretty bad. Obviously we have to assess it but Kieran won’t make the next game.
‘You have to feel for Kieran. He’s got himself in great shape and is a top player for us. He does ever so well.
‘It’s a shame, but someone else has got to step in and step up to the mark.’
David Moyes told BBC Sport: ‘He’s hugely key to how we play.’
Scotland have kept alive their hopes of reaching the last 16 of Euro 2024 with this draw.
Scott McTominay sent the royal blue fans delirious when his 13th-minute strike deflected off Fabian Schar and crashed in past Yann Sommer.
It took a moment of brilliance from Xherdan Shaqiri to equaliser, with the former Liverpool man curling a gorgeous first-time effort into the top corner after 26 minutes.

Both sides had their chances and Switzerland had goals from Dan Ndoye and Breel Donald Embolo ruled out in either half.
Scotland will have a strong chance of progressing if they beat Hungary in their final group match.
Anything less and it could be home in the group stages at the 12th time of asking.
