Could miss two months
Scott (quadriceps) withdrew from the England squad and returned to Bournemouth for further assessment after picking up the injury during Saturday's 7-0 win over Croatia, according to England coach Thomas Tuchel, per Henry Winter of talkSPORT. Tuchel said Scott had completed two full training sessions without any issues and received the green light from both the player and medical staff before the match. Scott also reported feeling fine when asked during the game and immediately afterward before later developing discomfort in his quadriceps. While initial reports suggested he could miss up to two months, Tuchel appeared surprised by that timeline and indicated that neither the scan nor Scott's condition pointed toward such a lengthy absence.
Analysis: Scott made his senior England debut with a 20-minute cameo against Czechia before logging 70 minutes against Croatia, with no obvious sign of an injury during either appearance. The midfielder has been one of Bournemouth's standout performers early in the Premier League campaign, producing one goal, 11 chances created, nine tackles and eight interceptions across five appearances. A potential two-month absence would leave a sizable hole in the Cherries' midfield, though the timeline remains, with Lewis Cook likely to step into a larger role if Scott is forced into an extended spell on the sidelines.
Suffers quadriceps injury
Scott (quadriceps) is pulling out of the England squad with an injury picked up during Saturday's 7-0 win in Croatia and will return to Bournemouth to be assessed, as he could potential miss up to two months, according to Alex Crook of talkSPORT.
Analysis: Scott made his senior debut off the bench for 20 minutes in the 2-0 win over Czechia, then played through the pain for 70 minutes against Croatia in a decent performance. He has had a strong start to the Premier League season, recording one goal, 11 chances created, nine tackles and eight interceptions across five appearances, so a lengthy absence would be a significant blow for Bournemouth's midfield. If he had to miss some time on the sidelines, Lewis Cook will be in line to start in the midfield for the Cherries until Scott returns to full speed.
