A big disappointment in Scotland ahead of tomorrow's game (Thursday) against the Israeli team in the Euro semi-finals of the Euro qualifiers (21:45, Channel 12).
It started with the announcement that three players will be absent due to Corona - Stuart Armstrong, Kieran Tierney and Ryan Christie.
Armstrong, the Southampton midfielder, was the only one to be found positive in the last test, but Tierney (Arsenal stopper) and Christie (Celtic striker) are required to be isolated for 14 days after being in close contact with him.
Although Armstrong was not supposed to open, Tierney and Christie (who also scored the penalty against Israel a month ago) are the car players who are considered important in the host's lineup.
It should be noted that both the physiotherapist and the team masseur went into isolation.
In addition, the Scots announced today that three more injured players will be absent and will not be included in the squad: Scott McNae (who was due to start in the squad), Liam Palmer and Oliver Barak.
With the addition of James Forrest, who was injured even before the announcement of the squad, the Scots will come to the game without five or six players who were supposed to start in the squad.
The Scots will not be able to summon other players to the squad, as there will be no time to do corona tests and get results before the game, so they will have to get along with those who remain healthy and fit.

"The Corona nightmare," the Scottish Sun called the news of the missing before the important game, "the announcement shook the team that was announced to be without six players for the critical game against Israel."
The local Daily Record noted that Scotland "got another blow, when the staff suffered a painful blow".
Scotland coach Steve Clark responded by saying that "obviously it is disappointing, but the most important thing is the health of everyone who belongs to the team. We have already informed the teams and all the officials, and now we are preparing for the huge game that awaits us tomorrow".

However, of course the Scots do not break, promising to "make the country smile".
Coach Clark admitted that "this is a difficult time for us, I worked and prepared with one team, and now I have to change that. Although it is very disappointing for those who have been overlooked, what an opportunity for those who will now get the chance. "I know all the players are ready. The whole country wants us to succeed, and I hope we make her smile."
Indeed, the Scots know that a victory at the empty Padden Stadium will put the team 90 minutes away from qualifying for a major tournament for the first time in 23 years.
The winner of the meeting between Scotland and Israel, as will be remembered, will play in the playoff final against the winner between Serbia and Novajar next month.
Scotland captain Andy Robertson claims his squad will do anything for those who miss the game, much to their chagrin.
"These are the cards that have been dealt to us, and that has to be dealt with," said the Scottish defender of Liverpool. .
