Levein Could Lose Two More

Lee Wallace and Chris Iwelumo could be out for the EURO2012 games Scotland boss Craig Levein has already lost number one goalkeeper Craig Gordon to a broken arm and defender Gary Caldwell, who had two hip operations during the summer. However, it looks like he will lose a couple more as there as major doubts over Lee Wallace and Chris Iwelumo ahead of the EURO2012 qualifier against Lithuania in Kaunas on Friday night. Hearts defender Wallace pulled up with an ankle injury in the warm-up before the game against Dundee United at Tynecastle on Sunday and had to be replaced before the game even started. Burnley striker Iwelumo tweaked a hamstring near the end of his club's defeat against Swansea. Turf Moor boss Brian Laws said: "We will have to assess what Chris is like, but I would say it is highly unlikely now he will go with Scotland during the international break." Rangers boss Walter Smith said on Friday Andy Webster was out of the squad. The Ibrox defender has sciatica but like Wallace and Iwelumo, he will be assessed by the Scotland medical team when they meet up today at their Mar Hall hotel base, near Glasgow. In the first double-header of their qualifying campaign, Scotland play Lithuania on Friday and then Liechtenstein at Hampden on Tuesday, 7 September. Steven Fletcher, Alan Hutton and Kevin McNaughton may only be available for Liechtenstein game depending on fitness.
