Alex Scott out for six to eight weeks after England withdrawal

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad with an injury that could keep him out for up to eight weeks.

BETAIGO EditorialUpdated:

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad ahead of Tuesday's match against the Czech Republic due to an injury. The issue is expected to keep him out for six to eight weeks.

Scott had impressed on his full England debut in Saturday's 7-0 Nations League win over Croatia, but the injury has forced him to leave the squad.

The timing is a setback for Bournemouth, who are scheduled to play nine games between 10 October and 8 November. Scott's absence will be felt during that busy period.

No further details about the nature of the injury have been released. England will now prepare for the Czech Republic game without the midfielder.

Supporters have expressed disappointment at the news, with some questioning how the injury occurred. However, the club and national team have not provided additional information.
