Elliot Anderson has withdrawn from Scotland's squad for the matches with Cyprus and England because of injury.
The Newcastle midfielder, 20, received a first senior call-up last month with national boss Steve Clarke saying there had been "good discussions" with the player and his family.
Born in Whitley Bay, he represented Scotland at youth level, qualifying through his grandmother.
The Scots visit Cyprus for Friday's Euro 2024 qualifier (19:45 BST).
And they host England in a friendly the following Tuesday.
Anderson, used as a substitute in Newcastle's first four Premier League outings this season, briefly switched his allegiance to England Under-19s in 2021.
