Stuart Armstrong Earns Scotland Call-Up After Withdrawals

Armstrong to Replace Injured Adams and Morgan

Scotland manager Steve Clarke has called up Southampton midfielder Stuart Armstrong to his squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Ukraine and the Republic of Ireland.

The 31-year-old replaces Che Adams and Lewis Morgan, who have both withdrawn from the squad due to injury.

Adams Out with Back Injury

Adams, who plays for Southampton alongside Armstrong, has been ruled out with a back injury. The striker has been in impressive form for his club this season, scoring 6 goals in 14 appearances.

Morgan Withdraws Due to Knock

Morgan, who plays for Celtic, has withdrawn from the squad due to a knock. The winger has been a regular for the Scottish national team in recent years, earning 20 caps.

Armstrong a Valuable Addition

Armstrong is a versatile midfielder who can play in a number of positions. He has been in good form for Southampton this season, scoring 2 goals in 12 appearances.

The 31-year-old has 28 caps for Scotland and will be hoping to add to that tally in the upcoming matches.

Scotland Face Crucial Matches

Scotland face two crucial UEFA Nations League matches in the coming days. They will host Ukraine on Wednesday, September 21, before traveling to Dublin to face the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, September 24.

Clarke's side are currently top of their Nations League group, with 6 points from their first two matches. A win in either of their upcoming fixtures would put them in a strong position to qualify for the Nations League finals.
