Alex Scott Facing Two-Month Absence After Withdrawing From England Squad
The midfielder may miss up to eight weeks after playing 70 minutes against Croatia, leaving Bournemouth without one of its key starters.
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad to face the Czech Republic on Tuesday after sustaining a quad injury during his international debut against Croatia on Saturday.
Playing 70 minutes alongside Elliot Anderson and Jude Bellingham, Scott impressed during his full international debut as the Three Lions cruised to a 7-0 Nations League victory in Rijeka.
Reports from The Athletic indicate Scott could be absent for up to eight weeks with the quadriceps issue, though medical tests will determine the final recovery timeline when he returns to Bournemouth.
Cherries boss Marco Rose faces a significant challenge, as his side has yet to win in the Premier League this season, recording three draws and two defeats.
Bournemouth faces a busy schedule including a visit to Chelsea and Europa League matches against Sturm Graz and Sunderland, with Scott having started all five league games this season.
