Tuchel defends handling of 'strange' Alex Scott injury with England midfielder facing months out

Bournemouth midfielder Scott faces up to two months out after thigh injury sustained during Croatia match; Tuchel says there was no risk-taking in his handling.

Alex Scott suffered a thigh injury during England's 7-0 win over Croatia on Saturday that could sideline the 23-year-old Bournemouth midfielder for up to two months. The injury developed unexpectedly after the match, despite Scott training fully before the game and reporting only minor discomfort during play. England manager Thomas Tuchel defended his decision-making, describing it as a "strange one" and emphasizing there was "zero risk-taking" in his management of the player, with medical staff giving green lights throughout.
