Steve Clarke says Scotland 'not short of issues' ahead of Ukraine
Injuries and illness are affecting the squad ahead of the crucial Nations League clash
Steve Clarke admits Scotland are not "short of issues" ahead of their crunch Nations League game against Ukraine in Krakow on Tuesday night.
Skipper Andrew Robertson was already injured before September's triple-header but fellow defenders Nathan Patterson, Kieran Tierney and Scott McKenna are also now out for the final fixture and Scott McTominay is suspended.
A virus in the camp has also affected strikers Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams, although the latter took part in a media conference in Edinburgh and said he felt "great, feeling better" ahead of a game where Group B1 leaders Scotland need only a point to finish top and clinch promotion to League A.
Scotland boss Clarke said: "There was one or two missing from training this morning. We have some kind of virus in the camp, just sickness.
"Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams didn't feel very well this morning but they will be on the plane.
"So we have that to worry about, so we are not short of issues and we are also not short of determination to go there and finish the job."
Clarke, who called up Hearts duo Barrie McKay and Stephen Kingsley on Sunday, was disappointed to lose Tierney and McKenna.
He said: "You don't want to lose anyone from the squad.
"Kieran and Scott are two good players playing to the best of their abilities, but as I always say, injuries are sent to test you, it is now a chance for someone else."
