Scotland Women head coach Pedro Martinez Losa must prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifying double-header without Kirsty Maclean and Chelsea Cornet. Both players have withdrawn from the squad due to injury, according to BBC Sport.
Maclean and Cornet were part of the initial selection for the matches against Luxembourg. The Scottish Football Association confirmed their absence earlier today, though the specific nature of their injuries has not been disclosed. Rangers midfielder Tessel Middag and Glasgow City player Amy Muir have joined the squad as replacements.
Scotland begin their campaign in Luxembourg on Thursday before facing the same opponents at Hampden Park next Tuesday. Martinez Losa's side aims to secure a place in the 2027 tournament following their recent promotion in the Nations League. The team travels to Luxembourg City later this week to begin final preparations for the Group Five fixture. The absence of the midfield duo represents a significant change to the planned starting options.
