Scotland, Caroline Weir, Sweden and Mia McAulay
11 November 2026
Scotland captain Caroline Weir will miss both legs of the Women’s World Cup qualification play-off against Sweden because of a muscle injury. The midfielder has not played for Lyon since withdrawing from the warm-up before Scotland’s victory over Czechia last month.
Aston Villa forward Mia McAulay is also unavailable because of a calf problem. Scotland have added Newcastle’s Beth Lumsden and Ipswich’s Eilidh Adams to the squad for matches on 1 and 5 December, with a place at Brazil 2027 at stake.
Why It Matters
Scotland lose their captain and an experienced attacking midfielder for both legs of a decisive World Cup qualification tie.
