Alex Scott facing two months out after playing through pain with England
Midfielder’s thigh injury a blow for Bournemouth
He will miss England games on Tuesday and next month
Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad and could be out for two months with a thigh injury. The Bournemouth midfielder excelled on his full debut during the 7-0 win over Croatia on Saturday, but he felt discomfort before the game and the problem worsened after playing through the pain.
Bournemouth are unlikely to be delighted with how the situation has been handled, but Scott was determined to take his opportunity. He impressed alongside Elliot Anderson in Rijeka and was expected to be handed another start when England host Czechia in the Nations League on Tuesday. Thomas Tuchel will have to adjust his midfield for his side’s fourth and final game of the international break and for November’s games against Croatia and Spain.
