McKenna giventhe allclear byDons

Scotland defender Scott McKenna says Aberdeen have raised no concern about him travelling to the Czech Republic for tonight’s Nations League fixture in Olomouc.

Tonight’s match had been in major doubt after the Czechs initially announced they would not be playing Steve Clarke’s men following their 3-1 victory over Slovakia on Friday.

Their stance came after players Tomas Soucek and Patrik Schick were instructed to self- isolate after coming into contact with a backroom staff member who had tested positive for coronavirus.

After Uefa confirmed the game would go ahead as planned, the Czechs have now named an entirely new 23-man squad led by fresh coaching staff.

Arrivals to Scotland from the Czech Republic must selfisolate for 14 days, although the national team squad is exempt from that restriction.

McKenna says the Dons, who are next in action at home to Kilmarnock on Saturday, have not taken issue with his involvement in the squad.

He said: “I haven’t heard from the club, they were happy for me to go away. We’ll be exempt when we come back into the country so everyone is happy with it and we’re fine to carry on playing.

“We all feel safe. The doctors and medical staff here are brilliant with us. We have to trust in the processes they have in place.

“Uefa are strict at the best of times. If they’re happy for the game to go ahead then I am too, and I’m sure all my team-mates feel the same way.”

Scotland arrived in Olomouc last night, having remained in their squad bubble since Friday ’ s 1- 1 draw against Israel at Hampden Park.

McKenna will win his 16th cap if selected against the Czechs.
