Liverpool youngster Ben Doak has been included in Scotland's provisional squad for Euro 2024 despite missing the last six months through injury

But his lengthy lay-off hasn’t prevented Steve Clarke from selecting him in a 28-man provisional squad - which will later be cut to 26 players.
Finishing the season with five first team appearances, Doak went on to impress in pre-season and even scored in a 4-0 pre-season friendly win over Leicester City in Singapore. A further five senior appearances followed in the first half of the 2023/24 campaign before his untimely injury, having come into the campaign as many a supporters' Reds starlet to watch.
He is joined by Andy Robertson in Clarke’s provisional squad, with the pair becoming the 11th and 12 Liverpool players to be on the verge of competing at Euro 2024. Throw in the Reds’ four South Americans set to participate at the Copa America, and Slot will have to wait to meet a large proportion of his senior squad this summer.
