John McGinn, Scott McKenna, Ryan Gauld and Tommy Conway are the latest possible absences as Steve Clarke prepares to announce his Scotland squad.
Six games without a victory, one win in 14, three straight defeats, it is not the time Scotland head coach Steve Clarke wants to hear of more injury woes, never mind any loss of club form.
With Al Ettifaq's Jack Hendry and Bristol City's Ross McCrorie having not played for their clubs yet this season, and Ryan Porteous and Grant Hanley both weekend substitutes for Championship sides Watford and Norwich respectively, it leaves Clarke with few centre-half options who are starting for their clubs.
Similarly, at right-back, Nathan Patterson has only just returned to action with Everton's reserves, while Anthony Ralston was unused on Celtic's bench John McGinn is also likely to be ruled out having missed Aston Villa's latest two outings after being forced off at half-time against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Che Adams came off the bench to score his third goal since joining Torino as they lost 3-2 at home to Lazio in Serie A and must be a shoe in to be included after dropping out last time through injury.
