Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from England duty ahead of Tuesday’s match against the Czech Republic after picking up an injury during Saturday’s 7-0 win over Croatia, his first senior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.

CFP, ESPN Agree to 24-Team Playoff Expansion

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots. The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
