Cuthbert Injured in Scotland 6-0 Win Over Israel — Israel Vs Scotland
Scotland won 6-0 in israel vs scotland, but the result was overshadowed when Erin Cuthbert went down clutching her right leg and left on a stretcher in obvious agony. The midfielder was taken to hospital after the World Cup qualifier at the Bozsik Arena in Hungary.

The match was Scotland’s home qualifier against Israel at the home of Honved, played in an 8,000-capacity stadium with only a handful of friends and family inside. Scotland still handled the night on the scoreline, and Kirsty Hanson completed the six-goal haul with the final goal.
Melissa Andreatta said she was not willing to speculate on how it pans out after the injury. That leaves Scotland waiting on the most immediate development from a match they controlled on the scoreboard but not on the treatment table.
Group B4 pressure
The 6-0 win kept Scotland top of European qualifying Group B4 ahead of Belgium. They began the night four goals better off than Belgium, and that edge mattered because Belgium later beat Luxembourg 6-0 at Den Dreef Stadion.
Scotland had already crushed Luxembourg 7-0 at Hampden, so the margin in this group has been tight even when the results have looked lopsided. With the final round of fixtures scheduled for Tuesday, the focus shifts to whether Cuthbert is available and whether Scotland can protect their place at the top.
Kirsty Hanson put the injury concern in simple terms after the match: "She is being well looked after, so let's hope there is good news."
