Scotland forward Shaun Maloney has been ruled out of this month’s double header against the Czech Republic and Denmark after being sidelined for three weeks with an ankle problem.
The Hull City playmaker, who has only made one appearance for the Tigers in 2016 due to injury and falling down the pecking order, sustained the problem in training on Monday and is not expected to return to Steve Bruce’s side until April.
A Hull statement read: “Shaun Maloney damaged his ankle and although the injury isn’t too serious, the Scottish international is expected to be out of action for around three weeks.”
