Billy Gilmour - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Will miss World Cup Gilmour (knee) is officially ruled out of the 2026 World Cup due to the injury he sustained during Saturday's friendly against Curacao, the Scottish FA announced.

Impact Gilmour has been sent back to his club Napoli to start his recovery from the injury. While the full extent of his absence remains to be revealed, the problem is serious enough to cancel his participation in the international tournament, and it's another blow for a player who was previously sidelined between November and February with a groin issue. This news leaves Scotland without one of their top midfield options, but it could open up an opportunity for Kenny McLean to take on a bigger role alongside Ryan Christie.

Impact Gilmour's early exit is a significant concern for Scotland heading into the tournament, with the Napoli midfielder already having endured a difficult season disrupted by a groin injury that kept him sidelined for around four months between November and February. He managed just 887 minutes across 20 appearances this season, making his lack of match sharpness a genuine worry even before this latest setback emerged. Coach Steve Clarke had nonetheless included him in Scotland's World Cup squad, a show of faith in a player who remains one of the most technically gifted midfielders in the national team setup. His condition will be assessed in the coming hours before a clearer picture emerges on his availability for the opening group stage fixtures.

Takes one shot against Roma Gilmour (groin) had one tackle (one won), one cross (zero accurate) and one off-target shot in 11 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Roma.

Impact Gilmour was relatively busy in a short stint off the bench after missing a lot of time because of a sports hernia. He'll help out in the midfield while Scott McTominay (thigh) and Frank Anguissa (back) are hampered. He has appeared 13 times (five starts) so far, totaling six shots (one on target), four key passes and 10 tackles (three won) and scoring once. He has gotten consistent minutes only when Stanislav Lobotka missed time.

Fit for bench Gilmour (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Roma.

Impact Gilmour was still battling some fitness issues this week, but after ramping up training, he is an option for the bench. After a long injury absence, he will hope to ramp up his minutes quickly and return to more of a rotational spot, although more time could be given to him with Frank Anguissa (thigh) and Scott McTominay (thigh) still injured.

Might return versus Roma Gilmour (groin) has ramped up this week and could be back on the bench against Roma, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Gilmour hasn't played since early November because of a sports hernia and had surgery a few weeks later. He had a secondary role earlier in the season, but he'd come in handy even if far from 100 percent since Scott McTominay (thigh) and Frank Anguissa (back/thigh) are on the mend. Gilmour has scored once and tallied nine tackles, seven interceptions, and five clearances in 12 appearances (six starts).

Impact Gilmour drew another starter for Stanislav Lobotka (thigh), who was back on the bench for this one, but didn't make it to the end of the first half due to some discomfort and didn't record stats during his time on the pitch. He's set for tests. The coach opted to deploy Eljif Elmas instead of the returning starter in this one.

Nets early Gilmour scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-2 victory versus Pisa.

Impact Gilmour scored the opening goal during Monday's clash, making the most of his lone shot on goal. It wasn't an overly impressive performance on the whole, but popping up with a goal from holding midfield is solid. Gilmour should continue in a limited upside role in holding midfield.

Creates three chances against Genoa Gilmour won two of two tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Genoa.

Impact Gilmour came in early for Stanislav Lobotka (ankle), did a little bit of everything and was one of the main creators for his side. He'll likely get the nod versus Parma as the starter subbed off for the same problem twice in a row. He has totaled 10 key passes, eight crosses (six accurate), seven clearances and three tackles (two won) in his last five showings (two starts).
