Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad due to a tendon injury sustained during the 7-0 victory over Croatia. Initial assessments suggest he could miss several weeks of action, prompting Bournemouth to recall the midfielder for further scans. Scott's international break was already marked by personal tragedy, as his grandfather passed away while he was with the team.
Despite the loss, Scott chose to stay and play in his honor, delivering an impressive performance that earned praise from manager Thomas Tuchel. The versatile midfielder linked effectively with Elliot Anderson, with whom he won the U21 Euros in 2025. However, Scott requested substitution at halftime due to pain.
His future at Bournemouth remains uncertain, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea all expressed interest this summer. Bournemouth rejected offers, insisting Scott was not for sale despite two years remaining on his contract. The 23-year-old previously turned down a new deal at the club.
Meanwhile, Ezri Konsa has also returned to Arsenal due to a muscle injury, while Thomas Tuchel hailed Scott as the complete package following his debut display at Rijeka.
