Alex Scott ruled out for a month following England duty injury
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is set to miss 4-5 weeks with a thigh injury sustained while representing England under Thomas Tuchel.
Bournemouth manager Marco Rose has confirmed a significant blow for his side, with midfielder Alex Scott sidelined for four to five weeks. The midfielder picked up a thigh injury during the recent international break while representing the England national team.
Rose expressed his disappointment, noting the impact of losing one of his most influential players. «It's a muscle injury. We'll do a scan in a few days, but we will miss him for four to five weeks. It's a big loss,» the manager stated. Despite the setback, Rose remained professional, emphasizing that the club remains proud to have players involved at the international level.
We're very happy he is in the England national team. He did well. Marco Rose
England boss Thomas Tuchel addressed the situation, revealing the injury came as a surprise to the medical staff. Scott played 70 minutes during England's win over Croatia, and Tuchel insisted there were no warning signs prior to the match. «We took absolutely no risk. I can understand the disappointment of the club, and I am of course sorry for Marco,» Tuchel added.
The loss is particularly difficult for Bournemouth, who are yet to secure a victory in the current Premier League season. As the team looks to find their form, Rose must now shuffle his squad for the upcoming clash against Chelsea at the Vitality Stadium without his engine room regular.
