Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna could miss the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign.
The 23-year-old suffered a torn hamstring in Saturday’s 2-0 Scottish Cup win against St Mirren.
The defender was scanned on Monday and the results confirmed the severity of the injury with Dons boss Derek McInnes saying it was “the worst possible news.”
The news is also a blow for Scotland head coach Steve Clarke ahead of this month’s Euro 2020 play-off against Israel on March 26.
💬 Derek – Scott’s scan results were the worst possible news for us, it’s similar to the injury Funso suffered and he could be out for the rest of the season. #StandFree
💬 Derek – We have to deal with it and continue to fight to get third in the table and through to the Scottish Cup Final. Young Jack Mackenzie is added to the squad for tomorrow. #StandFree
