| The midfielder was sent home from the Scotland Under-21 squad, who are due to meet the Czech Republic at the Falkirk Stadium tonight, after suffering from a groin problem.
That was being assessed by physio staff at Tannadice today and the manager is keeping his fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious.
“We don’t want to lose anyone to injury and David is a good attacking player,” said Craig.
“But the very fact he was sent home from the Under-21 team has me concerned it’s not just a minor thing, because I’m sure he would have played this evening.
“We’ll get Jeff (Clarke) to have a look at it and, hopefully, it’s not too bad.”
With doubts over Robertson, and Craig Conway struggling with a foot injury ahead of the weekend trip to the Highlands, the team boss is also hoping skipper Barry Robson keeps out of the wars when Scotland meet South Africa at Pittodrie tomorrow night.
Robson has been drafted in to Alex McLeish’s senior squad for the friendly international ahead of next month’s Euro 2008 qualifiers against Lithuania and France.
However, when the team was named this afternoon, Robson wasn’t in the starting XI.
The Tangerines second string were in action today, taking on Hibs at Station Park, Forfar.
Midfield pair Mark Kerr and Greg Cameron were both pencilled in for a run, but youngster Keith Watson was set to miss out due to a twisted ankle. |
