Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes has been ruled out of the European Championship after sustaining an injury during training ahead of Monday’s friendly against Gibraltar, the team announced on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, who currently plays for Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship, was forced to leave the training field on a stretcher on Friday and will be unable to participate in the tournament in Germany. Dykes played a crucial role in coach Steve Clarke’s squad during the qualifiers and has netted nine goals in 36 appearances for Scotland.
Scotland will begin their campaign against hosts Germany on June 14th, marking the opening match of the tournament in Munich.
