Euro 2024: ‘Just a precaution’ – Robertson & Shankland exit Scotland training early

Scotland are being “extra cautious” as Andy Robertson and Lawrence Shankland were withdrawn from training on Monday.

Assistant manager John Carver explained that the pair are not expected to miss out on any more preparation for Friday’s opening Euro 2024 match against Germany.

“It’s just a precaution really,” said Carver of captain Robertson. “The ball just caught his ankle and he will train tomorrow.

“He’ll be fine. At this stage we are being extra cautious. He’s okay and looking forward to tomorrow.

“It’s never nice, especially with the luck we’ve been having lately.”

On striker Shankland, Carver added: “He had a little bit of a niggle from the other night, we’re just protecting him as well. He’s fine, everybody’s good.”

Kenny McLean missed a training session that was open to the public at Scotland’s Garmisch-Partenkirchen base.

But he is due to return on Tuesday, along with fellow midfielder Stuart Armstrong, who has been working on his fitness separately since missing the end of the season with Southampton.
