Bardsley and Fletcher set to be included for Poland friendly
STEVEN FLETCHER and Phil Bardsley are set to be included in the Scotland squad for next month's friendly against Poland when it is announced tomorrow.
The Sunderland striker has been struggling to overcome an Achilles' tendon injury, but Black Cats boss Gus Poyet hopes he will be fit to play in the Capital One Cup final against Manchester City on March 2, three days before the game in Warsaw.
Full-back Bardsley has enjoyed a revival of fortune since Poyet replaced Paolo Di Canio at the Stadium of Light, and is now set to be recalled.
The 28 year-old's last cap was in the 5-1 defeat by the United States in May, 2012, when Craig Levein was still national coach.
