Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from England duty ahead of Tuesday’s match against the Czech Republic after picking up an injury during Saturday’s 7-0 win over Croatia, his first senior international start. Reports describe the problem variously as a quad or tendon injury, with initial estimates suggesting he could miss several weeks or roughly two months; further assessment is planned. The absence would be a setback for Bournemouth, where Scott has started every Premier League game this season, amid a busy run of fixtures.

Bournemouth will miss his energy in midfield for up to two months now. They were counting on him stepping up after that England call.
