Scott McTominay has travelled separately to Boston after missing Thursday’s training session due to an upset stomach.
The Napoli midfielder, who has been the Scots’ leading man in recent campaigns, made the journey with a doctor in what is believed to be a precautionary measure.
Steve Clarke’s side get their first World Cup in 28 years under way on Saturday (0200 BST on Sunday) at Boston Stadium in Foxborough against Haiti.
They will also face Morocco and Brazil.
McTominay, who has netted 15 goals across 70 caps, scored in Scotland’s convincing 4-0 win over Bolivia on Saturday.
Scotland fans, who have been flooding into Boston in huge numbers, will be anxious for an update from Clarke who us due to address the media on Friday (1700).
Speaking at Thursday’s media conference, fellow midfielder Kenny McLean said: “Mine is alright thankfully.
“Hopefully that doesn’t spread. Fingers crossed Scott will be fine. I’m sure he will be.
“I don’t need to speak too much on him, everyone knows how big he is.
“It’s a team effort and always will be, but when you have special, special players like that you want them to be available. I’m sure he will be.”
