Brentford defender Aaron Hickey is an injury doubt for Scotland's World Cup qualifier against Belarus on Sunday after coming off in the side's 3-1 win over Greece on Thursday.

The 23-year-old was substituted in the 58th minute at Hampden Park with what boss Steve Clarke described as a "small injury".

"He's just tweaked his knee," Clarke added.

"Aaron was actually a doubt to start the game after picking up a small knock to his knee and I think he's just aggravated it.

"I don't know for sure yet, but that was the reason I called Max [Johnston] into the squad as cover."

Bees fans will be hoping the issue is not too serious, with Hickey having only recently returned to full fitness this season after a two-year struggle with a recurring hamstring injury.
