  "account": "Arsenal and Bournemouth players have withdrawn from the England squad due to injury concerns. Alex Scott, a midfielder for Bournemouth, and Ezri Konsa, a defender for Arsenal, have both left the national team. The 23-year-old Scott was called up for the most recent international camp but will now return to his club for additional evaluation. His absence is a significant setback for England, as he had been making an impact in their 7-0 victory over Croatia. Concerns remain about the extent of his injury, but Scott is scheduled to undergo scans to determine the severity of his condition. Konsa, also a Bournemouth player, has similarly withdrawn from the England camp after being ruled out of the upcoming match against Czechia. This decision further reduces Tuchel's squad to 22 players for the game against Czechia. Arsenal's Ezri Konsa had missed the previous win over Czechia due to a fitness issue, but he did play during the match against Croatia. Arsenal will now evaluate Konsa's situation before the team's return to Premier League football activities.",
