England Calling: Cherries' Scott Picked for England Senior Squad
Alex Scott has received his first call-up to the England senior squad. The midfielder earned this opportunity through his outstanding performances for Bournemouth, known as the Cherries.
World Cup Qualifier Inclusion
Scott will be part of the Three Lions’ squad for the final World Cup Qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. Notably, he may face his Bournemouth teammates Djordje Petrovic and Veljko Milosavljevic, who are in the Serbia squad.
Coach Tuchel’s Praise
“He had an excellent EUROs. He won the title and Lee was full of praise. He did an excellent job in midfield together with Elliot Anderson who is now a regular starter for us.
It was very impressive but then he took another step and becomes a very regular starter now for Bournemouth and they are in the top third of the league. They are overperforming constantly. He puts intensity in and he gets his minutes, so we thought this is maybe the perfect time to reward him and to get to know him and to see what he can bring to our team.”
Season Performance
- Scott has started all but one of Bournemouth’s games this season.
- He scored a remarkable goal against Brighton.
- He plays a key role in the Bournemouth midfield alongside Tyler Adams.
- The club currently sits fifth in the Premier League after ten games.
Alex Scott’s rise reflects Bournemouth’s surprising strength this season and offers promising prospects for England's midfield depth.
