Ruled out for two more weeks
Scott (thigh) has resumed individual training on the grass but remains unavailable for at least another two weeks as he gradually increases his workload, according to coach Marco Rose, per Bournemouth Echo. "We said we're going to go out on the pitch and we have to wait how he responds on the load. The first day he did, the response was not perfect, but some days later it was much better. So now we can improve his training, but he will be not available for us the next two weeks."
Analysis: Scott has taken another step in his recovery from a thigh injury after returning to outdoor training, although he has yet to rejoin full team sessions. The midfielder initially experienced some discomfort following his first training session on the grass, but his response improved over the following days, allowing Bournemouth to gradually increase his workload. Despite this progress, he has been ruled out for at least another two weeks, meaning he will miss Thursday's Europa League clash against AC Milan and Sunday's Premier League encounter against Manchester United. His return will depend on how his thigh responds to increased training intensity before he can resume full participation with the squad.
Could return to grass next week
Scott (thigh) could be back working on the grass as early as next week after a positive MRI scan, according to manager Marco Rose, per BBC Radio Solent. "Maybe next week, he [Scott] can have some sessions back on the pitch. We'll see how his body reacts, but the picture was really good."
Analysis: Scott is making good progress from the thigh injury that forced him out of the England squad, and a positive MRI has opened the door for him to start working on the grass as soon as next week. That would mark an important step for a player who has been central to Bournemouth's midfield this season. His body's reaction to those first sessions will decide the next stage, and he could be back in contention for selection a few weeks after that if all goes well.
