Alex Scott Exits England Squad with Thigh Injury
Alex Scott, a midfielder for Bournemouth, withdrew from the England national team squad due to a thigh injury, as confirmed by the FA on Monday. England manager Thomas Tuchel stated there were no indications of injury risk before or during the team's 7-0 Nations League victory over Croatia.
Tuchel expressed sadness over Scott's situation, noting he had trained well and even completed extra work prior to the match. During the game, Scott reported slight discomfort but opted to remain on the field.
After the match, he acknowledged that it was the right decision to come off, despite feeling capable of playing the full 90 minutes. Tuchel remarked on the discrepancy between Scott's subjective experience and the objective findings of a scan, which suggested he could be out for several weeks.
Additionally, Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa also withdrew from the squad due to injury. England, currently second in their group behind Spain, is set to host the Czech Republic at Wembley on Tuesday.
