The 27-year-old suffered the injury during Watford’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday and was replaced with 11 minutes remaining by Juan Carlos Paredes. Anya told reporters after the game he didn’t know the extent of the injury but, after joining up with the Scotland squad, he has been ruled out of their crucial qualifying matches. The former Wycombe Wanderers youngster will now return to Watford to undergo treatment. Speaking ahead of the Tartan Army's game against Poland, Scotland boss Gordon Strachan said: "Ikechi is not going to make it, he has a tight calf so he has gone back to get treatment at Watford."
Seems it happened at the Bournemouth game... he was subbed.... there was some concern it was a tear....

What is Anya´s best position? Not the treatment table for sure! His versatility is a virtue, I guess.
Fingers crossed he's been excellent so far. Surprising to me as he was dreadful in the pre season Dundee friendly being out muscled every time he had the ball, now nobody can catch him to out muscle him!!
A more long term injury seems to be Jurado - out for a few weeks with a hamstring injury according to the WO.
