John McGinn drops out of Scotland squad due to a calf injury

Aston Villa secured their first back-to-back league victories under manager Dean Smith heading into the international break, and fans will surely be hoping they continue from where they stopped when Birmingham come visiting next Sunday.

Managers, players and supporters all fear injury updates that always accompany the international break, and the latest one from the Scottish national team should get fans nervous as it could potentially rock Villa Park.

As reported by the BBC, John McGinn has pulled out of the Scotland squad due to a calf injury.

The 24-year-old sustained a knock during training ahead of Saturday’s Nation League clash with Albania.
