Scotland await Tommy Conway news before Tuesday squad deadline

Former Ross County and Sunderland striker Stewart earned the latest of his two caps in 2022, but he has scored 11 goals in 33 appearances – and five in his latest 10 – for the side who finished fourth in the Championship after a spell of injury issues.

Fellow 29-year-old McBurnie did not add to his 18 goals in 41 appearances but also played his part for sixth-top Hull as he started both legs of their 2-0 aggregate win over third-placed Millwall.

The former Sheffield United and Las Palmas striker recently telephoned Clarke to make a direct plea for a first recall since earning his 16th cap in 2021.

However, Clarke said last month that he was “more or less set in my mind” about the 26 players he intends to take to the finals, although he revealed that two spots might still be up for grabs.

The Scotland head coach is known for his loyalty to players he believes have served him well, but Conway’s injury could open up another space.

Scotland host Curacao in a 30 May friendly at Hampden before their final warm-up game against Bolivia on 6 June in Harrison, New Jersey.
