Returns to training
McKenna (calf) has returned to training with the Scotland squad ahead of Friday's World Cup clash against Morocco, according to Sky Sports Scotland.
Analysis: McKenna missed Saturday's opening victory over Haiti with the calf issue, making his return to the training pitch a significant development for Scotland heading into their second group stage fixture. His availability for Friday's clash gives coach Steve Clarke an important defensive option to call upon as the Tartan Army look to build on their winning start to the tournament.
Out for opener
McKenna (calf) is out for Saturday's opener against Haiti, according to manager Steve Clarke, per Alan Pattullo of The Scotsman. "We won't take any chances with him."
Analysis: McKenna will not be fit in time for the opener after dealing with a calf injury, as the defender will instead sit out and not be risked. This appears to be a cautious approach, as Scotland will be favored to beat Haiti and likely didn't find it necessary to risk him. He will then look to get back into training next week, hopefully returning to face Morocco on June 19.
