Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour being sidelined with COVID-19 will not help underperforming Croatia in their crunch Euro 2020 Group D match on Tuesday (June 22), coach Zlatko Dalic said. The 20-year-old Gilmour, who stood out in Friday`s 0-0 draw with England at Wembley in his first start for Scotland, will self-isolate for 10 days in line with health protocols but Dalic said Scotland had plenty of depth in their squad.
“Gilmour played really well against England but up to that game he was never a first-choice option and he may not have even started against us,” Dalic told a news conference on Monday (June 21).
“I don’t see his absence as our advantage because whoever replaces him will be a more experienced player. Having said that, I wish Gilmour a speedy recovery.”
The Croatians and the Scots both have one point after two games and only a win will do for either side to keep alive any hopes of advancing to the last 16. England and the Czech Republic, who meet in the group’s other match on Tuesday at Wembley, have four points apiece and a draw in that game would see both teams clinch automatic berths in the knockout stage.
Croatia, the 2018 World Cup runners-up, were well below par in their 1-0 defeat by England followed by a 1-1 draw with the Czechs and Dalic conceded they faced a tough challenge against the Scots at Hampden Park. “This is our last chance to qualify for the knockout stages and we have to do everything in our power to make it happen,” he said.
Winger Ivan Perisic, one of the few regulars assured of starting against the Scots after drilling in a superb equaliser against the Czechs, was confident.
