Scotland Under-21s are getting an improved Ben Doak after a carefully considered break for the Liverpool winger, head coach Scot Gemmill said.
The 17-year-old returns for the opening Euro 2025 qualifier away to Spain on 11 September after sitting out two friendlies against Norway in June.
"He listened to his body and knew he needed a significant rest over the summer," Gemmill explained. "He's gone back to Liverpool fully focused, fully fit, stronger, faster, more determined than ever."
Doak has started the season in all three of Liverpool's Premier League matchday squads, coming off the bench in the opening weekend draw at Chelsea.
