The Scotland national team regains McKenna's services.

The Scottish national team received an important boost before their anticipated match against the Moroccan team, as they regained the services of defender Scott McKenna, who returned to team training after recovering from injury.

McKenna missed his country's first match in the 2026 World Cup against Haiti due to a calf muscle injury, which prevented him from participating in the match that ended with Scotland winning 1-0 in Group C, remaining confined to the bench.

Scottish media reports indicated that the center-back is now a candidate to return to coach Steve Clarke's options for the upcoming match, having trained normally with his teammates, allowing the coaching staff to rely on all their players before the second group stage match.

The Moroccan team will face their Scottish counterparts next Friday at Boston's stadium, starting at 6 PM local time in the United States, and 11 PM Moroccan time, as part of the second round of Group C in the 2026 World Cup finals.

The "Atlas Lions" began their World Cup journey with a draw against Brazil, with a score of 1-1, while the Scottish team achieved a hard-fought victory over Haiti, making Friday's match highly significant in the race for qualification to the next round.
