Scotland forward Lyndon Dykes has been ruled out of the European Championship after sustaining an injury during training ahead of Monday's friendly with Gibraltar, the team announced on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, who plays for English Championship club Queens Park Rangers, had to be taken off the training field on a stretcher on Friday and will consequently miss the tournament in Germany.

The Scotland national team has confirmed Dykes will miss out on being part of the squad, and the national team wrote on social media platform X.
"We're gutted for you, Lyndon, but know you'll be back in a Scotland shirt soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery."
Che Adams and Lawrence Shankland were the only other strikers named in Clarke’s provisional squad. However, he may choose to call up Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie or Southampton’s Ross Stewart, who is returning from another long-term injury.
