Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup has revealed that goalkeeper Angus Gunn is now a doubt for Scotland’s upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Portugal.
Gunn sustained a rib injury during his team's impressive 4-0 victory over Hull in the EFL Championship on Saturday lunchtime.
The 15-cap keeper, who has solidified his position as Scotland’s first-choice over the past year, was forced off the pitch just before half-time, with George Long stepping in as his replacement.
Thorup shared an update on Gunn’s condition, which may prompt Scotland manager Steve Clarke to consider either veteran Craig Gordon or uncapped Jon McCracken during the next international break.
Clarke is already without key players such as Kieran Tierney, Scott McKenna, John McGinn, Aaron Hickey, Lewis Ferguson, and Nathan Patterson.
And he's given Nicky Devlin, Liam Lindsay, and Andy Irving their first taste of the senior squad for this looming double-header.

“Angus jumped to take the ball and took a knock in the ribs,” said Thorup after the convincing victory at Carrow Road.
“He was in some discomfort and was unable to come out for the second half.
“It’s too early to say if he will be able to go away with Scotland – we’ll know more once he has had a scan.”
