Scotland boss Steve Clarke will be praying John McGinn isn’t seriously injured after the midfielder was forced to limp off during Aston Villa’s shock 1-0 home defeat to Everton.
Villa’s skipper was removed in the 18th minute on Sunday, and his exit proved to be a bad omen for Unai Emery’s men as Thierno Barry scored the only goal of the game on the hour mark.
The 31-year-old Scotland talisman appeared to hurt himself while stretching to intercept a pass. He tried to play on following treatment, but was clearly in pain while holding his right knee, and manager Emery was forced into making a change.
