Fresh injury blow for Scotland’s Steven Fletcher
SCOTLAND striker Steven Fletcher sustained a suspected dislocated shoulder in Sunderland’s 3-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion yesterday.
The centre forward landed awkwardly after firing a volley over the bar during the second half at the Hawthorns. The injury is likely to rule him out of Scotland’s final World Cup qualifier, against Croatia at Hampden on 15 October.
It is a cruel blow for Fletcher, who only recently returned to action for his club following an ankle injury he picked up while playing for Scotland against Wales in March.
