Scott injured on England duty
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from England's Nations League squad to face the Czech Republic on Tuesday with a thigh injury sustained against Croatia on Saturday.
Scott played through the pain
Scott felt the thigh issue before Saturday's seven nil win over Croatia but played seventy minutes in central midfield alongside Elliot Anderson before being substituted.
Tuchel defends England's handling
England coach Thomas Tuchel said Scott trained fully before Croatia, received only green lights from medics, and chose to continue playing when asked if he wanted to come off.
“There was zero risk taken from our side.”
Bournemouth unhappy with England
According to sources, Bournemouth are frustrated about how England handled their midfielder, given they knew he was nursing the thigh issue before the match.
Scott faces lengthy absence
The twenty three year old is set to be out for six to eight weeks with the quadriceps issue, likely missing nine Bournemouth games between October tenth and November eighth.
Packed schedule ahead for Cherries
Alongside weekend Premier League matches, Bournemouth face Sturm Graz, AC Milan and Sparta Prague in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup fourth round during Scott's absence.
Here's the gist
Alex Scott will miss up to eight weeks with a thigh injury sustained while playing for England against Croatia, prompting Bournemouth to question how the injury was handled.
