Summary
Billy Gilmour’s World Cup dreams are dashed after a brutal knee injury—a grade two medial ligament tear—during Scotland’s match against Curacao, sidelining him for the 2026 tournament. With recovery taking 6-8 weeks, the midfielder is headed back to Napoli to rehab, leaving manager Steve Clarke heartbroken, calling the timing “cruel” and praising Gilmour as “integral” to their campaign. The Scots now scramble for replacements, eyeing young talents like Connor Barron, Lennon Miller, and Tyler Fletcher, underscoring just how vital Gilmour was. Fans send well wishes for a speedy recovery—and hope for a triumphant return. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
