Scottish international footballer Scott McTominay is expected to feature in his national team's opening World Cup match against Haiti (Sunday at 3:00 AM CEST in Foxborough). The Napoli midfielder is no longer bothered by the stomach issues that caused him to miss Thursday's training session.

"He's in perfect condition and ready to play," said Scotland manager Steve Clarke, though he added that he doesn't want to put pressure on McTominay. "I have 26 stars here. Trying to put everything on one person's shoulders isn't fair. Everything we've achieved over the past seven years, we've done through cohesion and everyone fulfilling their roles," the 62-year-old coach was quoted as saying by AFP.

In their remaining two Group C matches, the Scots will face 2022 World Cup semi-finalists Morocco and five-time world champions Brazil.
