Alex Scott Receives First Senior England Call-Up
England manager Thomas Tuchel has included 22-year-old Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in the squad for the final round of World Cup qualifiers. Scott, from Guernsey, played a vital role in the Under-21s team that won the Euros this summer.
Key Squad Selections and Omissions
- Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Manchester City's Phil Foden were both recalled to the squad.
- Everton attacker Jack Grealish and Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins were left out.
Thomas Tuchel on Alex Scott's Inclusion
Alex deserves to be with us. I first saw him closely in the Euros with the under-21s, where he was excellent together with Elliot Anderson in central midfield and played a huge part in the title win. Since then, he has really stepped up and is a regular starter for Bournemouth, who are overperforming constantly in the league. He has come a long way and has performed his way into this nomination. He will get a number eight role and hopefully, he can prove us right and show us his talent and personality.
Alex Scott's Reaction
I just wanted to say thank you. Obviously a very proud moment for me. I can't wait and I want to say thank you to all of you for making it happen.
Scott's inclusion reflects his progress and growing impact at both club and international levels, signaling the trust placed in him ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
