There are some injury headaches for Martin O'Neill today.

He has been forced to delay announcing his final squad for Friday's Euro qualifier away to Scotland.

It comes as Marc Wilson and James McCarthy are both set to undergo scans today to assess the severity of hamstring injuries they picked up yesterday while playing for their clubs.

Wilson went off injured for Stoke, as they beat Spurs 2-1 away.

They will both be assessed today, with Wilson the bigger doubt.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez says McCarthy is a worry:

 

Kieran Westwood has also emerged as a doubt for the international double header against both Scotland and the USA.

There was some good news for O'Neill yesterday, though.

Darron Gibson played 75 minutes for Everton yesterday, as he continues his recovery from injury.

He could be in line for a start on Friday, with both Glenn Whelan and now McCarthy on the treatment table.
