England Calling: Scott Joins England Senior Squad
Alex Scott has received his first-ever call-up to the England senior national team. The Bournemouth midfielder earned the selection after an impressive season with the Cherries, leading to his inclusion for the Three Lions' final World Cup Qualifiers against Serbia and Albania.
Scott could face his Bournemouth teammates Djordje Petrovic and Veljko Milosavljevic, both named in the Serbian squad. His consistent performances have played a major role in keeping Bournemouth among the top five teams in the Premier League after ten matches.
“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,” said Tuchel. “It was very impressive, but then he took another step and became a regular starter for Bournemouth. They are overperforming constantly. He puts intensity in and gets his minutes, so we thought this is the perfect time to reward him and see what he can bring to our team.”
Scott has featured in all but one of Bournemouth’s games this season, scoring a memorable goal against Brighton. His partnership with Tyler Adams has become a key element of the team’s midfield strength.
