  "summary": "Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad due to a thigh injury. According to Yahoo Sports, he is expected to be out for six to eight weeks with a quadriceps issue. Scott had impressed on his full debut as England defeated Croatia 7-0 in the Nations League on Saturday, playing 70 minutes in central midfield alongside Elliot Anderson.\n\nEngland manager Thomas Tuchel noted that Scott's performance would provide competition for Declan Rice's midfield spot, as reported by Business Recorder and Free Malaysia Today. Tuchel praised Scott's display, saying he was \"in the highest level\" and that the team needed more variety and options.\n\nBournemouth are set to play nine games between October 10 and November 8, and Scott's absence will likely be felt during this period.",
