Scotland will be forced into one change but denied the chance to make two more as they prepare for the second match of the NatWest 6 Nations against France at Murrayfield on Sunday.
Wing Byron McGuigan limped off in Cardiff with a hamstring injury and won’t be fit for Sunday, having returned to his club sale Sharks for rehabilitation.
A statement from the Scotland camp also confirmed that Richie Gray and Duncan Taylor had not rejoined the squad after missing the first two weeks of training with injuries, and will therefore not be available for the French test.
Gray, who has been missing for 10 months due to back surgery but was ruled out of the first week with a calf problem having returned to action with his club Toulouse, is staying in France to complete his rehab.
Taylor, who missed the entire autumn test campaign, is still under examination for concussion issues at Saracens and has not joined up with the squad.
