Nottingham Forest have received a potentially fresh setback with Scott McKenna dropping out of the Scotland squad ahead of the upcoming clash with Leicester City.
McKenna has pulled out of Steve Clarke's squad alongside Kieran Tierney and Scott McTominay with the Scotland boss turning to Hearts duo Stephen Kingsley and Barrie McKay in their absence.
McKenna played the full 90 minutes in both of the recent victories for Scotland against Ukraine and Republic of Ireland, but is now a major doubt for next Monday's trip to the King Power Stadium after being sent back to the East Midlands.

Details of McKenna's departure from the Scotland setup are yet to emerge but any absence for Forest will be a major blow, as Steve Cooper prepares his side for a hectic schedule within the Premier League with six fixtures pencilled in to be played across the month of October.
