UEFA Euro 2020: Scotland's Billy Gilmour Tests Positive For Covid-19, Says Scottish Football Association

Euro 2020: Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour tested positive for COVID-19 and he will miss Tuesday's match against Croatia at Hampden.

Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour tested positive for coronavirus on Monday, dealing a huge blow to Scotland's hopes of making it beyond the group stages of a major tournament for the first time at Euro 2020. Gilmour picked up the Man of the Match award in Friday's 0-0 draw against England at Wembley in his first international start. But he will miss Tuesday's clash against Croatia at Hampden with Scotland needing to win to have any chance of progressing to the last 16. "The Scottish FA can confirm that a member of the Scotland National Team playing squad, Billy Gilmour, has tested positive for COVID-19," the Scottish Football Association said in a statement. "Having liaised with Public Health England since the positive test was recorded, Billy will now self-isolate for 10 days and therefore miss tomorrow's UEFA EURO 2020 Group D match against Croatia at Hampden." Promoted No other members of the squad have been required to self-isolate as a result of coming into close contact with the 20-year-old at Scotland's training base in Middlesbrough.
