Stuart Armstrong has 'big chance' of making Euro 2024 despite injury
Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong faces a race against time to be fit for Euro 2024.
The 32-year-old was carried off on a stretcher during Southampton's 2-1 defeat at Cardiff on Saturday.
Saints boss Russell Martin confirmed Armstrong is unlikely to play for them again this season but hopes he will be available for his country this summer.
"It's his quad, it's a muscle injury," Martin told the club website.
"We'll do everything we can to get him fit for the Euros for Scotland.
"I think he has a big chance for that, I don't think he has any chance of playing for us really.
"He has a big hope of getting in the Scotland squad because he's been fantastic for them and for us this season and has been in every squad, and I think there's a realistic chance with the injury he has to be fit for that.
"So we will do everything we can as a football club to help him get there. It wasn't as serious as we all feared but it is serious enough to keep him out for a period of time now where he can't help us unfortunately."
Armstrong won his 50th international cap in last month's 1-0 defeat by Northern Ireland at Hampden Park.
Scotland's first match of the tournament is against hosts Germany on June 14.
