Dykes withdraws from Scotland squad as injury rules him out Nations League matches

Dykes withdraws from Scotland squad as injury rules him out Nations League matches

LYNDON DYKES has withdrawn from the Scotland squad through injury.

The QPR striker has pulled out of the national team camp ahead of the upcoming Nations League fixtures over a quad muscle injury.

Dykes started in the World Cup play-off semi-final loss to Ukraine on Wednesday but was replaced by Ryan Christie at the break.

And the striker, 26, has now left Steve Clarke's squad after picking up a quad muscle injury.

It means Scotland will be without the former Livingston forward for matches against Armenia and Ireland this month.

Scotland play Armenia at Hampden on Wednesday, June 8 before a trip to Ireland three days later. The national team camp ends with the away match in Yerevan on June 14.

However, Clarke is now limited in his selection with Dykes dropping out and no replacement drafted in by the Hampden boss.

It leaves Che Adams, Jacob Brown and Ross Stewart as possible striking options.
