Alex Scott withdraws from England squad

Guernsey's Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad.

The midfielder is returning to Bournemouth to be assessed after picking up an injury.

The 23 year old got his first start in Saturday's 7 nil win over Croatia., after making his debut as a second-half substitute against the Czech Republic last week. 

It's understood he picked up the injury before the weekend, but reports suggest he played through the pain for 70 minutes in Rijeka.

TalkSPORT suggests he could be sidelined for up to two months.

Scott has been highly praised by England head coach Thomas Tuchel, who has previously called him 'une of the very best midfielders at the moment in the Premier League'.

After Saturday's decisive victory, Tuchel told the media:

"What a performance.. so smooth at the moment on the ball.  Decision-making is of the highest level.  He plays with so much confidence and he is so active... the complete package."
