Alex Scott Receives First Senior England Call-Up

England manager Thomas Tuchel has included 22-year-old AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in the senior squad for the final round of World Cup qualifiers. Scott, a Guernsey native, has been impressive for both club and country, playing a vital role in the Under-21s team that won the European Championship this summer.

Squad Selection Highlights

Tuchel’s Praise for Scott

"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

Sharing his excitement in a video posted by Bournemouth, Scott said:

"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 signals trust in emerging talent as England prepare for next year’s World Cup.
