Alex Scott facing two months out after playing through pain with England

Bournemouth midfielder Scott faces two months out after aggravating a thigh injury playing through pain on his England debut against Croatia.

Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad with a thigh injury that could sideline him for two months. The Bournemouth midfielder felt discomfort before Saturday's 7-0 win over Croatia but played through the pain, worsening the problem. He will miss England's Nations League match against Czechia on Tuesday and November's games against Croatia and Spain. Manager Thomas Tuchel must reshuffle his midfield options, with James Garner and Myles Lewis-Skelly among the replacements being considered.
