Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad due to a tendon injury sustained during the 7-0 victory over Croatia. Following the match, Scott will return to Bournemouth for further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. Initial assessments suggest that he may be sidelined for several weeks, with additional scans scheduled to provide more clarity on his condition.
Scott made a notable impact in his first start for England, earning praise from head coach Thomas Tuchel for his performance. Tuchel described Scott as the "complete package" after he played a significant role in the midfield alongside Elliot Anderson. The Bournemouth midfielder demonstrated impressive decision-making and work rate during the match, contributing to England's dominant win.
Despite his recent success, Scott's future at Bournemouth remains uncertain. He has reportedly declined a new contract amid interest from several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Bournemouth has maintained that Scott is not for sale, as he has two years remaining on his current deal.
Scott's absence will be felt in several upcoming fixtures for Bournemouth. The team is set to face Chelsea, Sturm Graz, Sunderland, AC Milan, Manchester United, and Aston Villa in the coming weeks. His injury could significantly impact Bournemouth's performance as they navigate a challenging schedule without one of their key players.
