Thomas Tuchel says Scotland should choose Billy Gilmour for the Euro 2020 finals - despite not currently picking him for his Chelsea side.
The 19-year-old midfielder has only made seven first-team appearances this season - one under new coach Tuchel.
Gilmour has also yet to feature in Steve Clarke's senior national squad.
"I can only strongly recommend the Scottish national team to nominate him because this guy trains on the highest level," Tuchel said.
"They should not be worried about his ability to compete."
Gilmour broke into the Chelsea side under Frank Lampard last season only to suffer a serious knee injury in July that kept him sidelined until November.
