BOURNEMOUTH — Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England national squad and returned to AFC Bournemouth after sustaining a quadriceps injury, with initial fears suggesting he could be sidelined for up to two months.
The 23-year-old midfielder, who impressed on his full senior debut for the Three Lions, suffered the setback in training. Medical assessments remain ongoing to determine the full extent of the muscle damage, but early estimates indicate a significant period out of action.
The development represents a major personal frustration for Scott following his breakthrough international performance, as well as a severe selection headache for Bournemouth. The Cherries are already navigating the absence of forward Eli Junior Kroupi, compounding manager Andoni Iraola’s injury concerns ahead of the Premier League’s return.
