The Scottish Football Association has confirmed that midfielder Billy Gilmour will miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to a knee injury. The Napoli player was injured during Scotland's 4-1 friendly victory over Curaçao on May 30, 2026.
Gilmour, 25, suffered the injury in the first half and was substituted. Medical assessments later revealed the severity, ruling him out of the tournament. Scotland is in Group B alongside Morocco, Iran, and the USA.
This is a significant blow for Scotland, as Gilmour has been a key player in their midfield. The Scottish FA has not yet announced a replacement for the squad.
