In contention for Brazil clash
McKenna (calf) missed both of Scotland's opening group stage fixtures with the calf injury but has been training this week in North Carolina and is in contention to feature against Brazil, according to the federation.
Analysis: McKenna's return to training is an encouraging development for coach Steve Clarke heading into a crucial fixture where Scotland's qualification hopes could be confirmed. The center-back's potential availability gives Clarke an experienced defensive option to call upon in what promises to be a demanding clash against the South American side. Scotland will need a strong defensive performance against Brazil, making McKenna's fitness one of the more closely watched developments ahead of the group stage finale.
Fit to face Morocco
McKenna (calf) is fit and recovered for Friday's match against Morocco, according to Tom Hamilton of ESPN.
Analysis: McKenna is set to make his return Friday as Scotland look to make history with a knockout round qualification, as the defender has recovered from a calf injury. This is major news for the team, as they should now be at full strength after a few uncertainties in the opener. He will push for a starting role in the defense in his return, but may test his legs in his first match back, likely to challenge Grant Hanley and Jack Hendry for their spots.
