Alex Scott Earns First England Senior Call-Up
England head coach Thomas Tuchel has named Bournemouth's Alex Scott in the senior squad for the first time ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. Having already secured their spot at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico by winning all six qualifiers, Tuchel is using this stage to refresh his team.
Scott's Rising Impact in the Premier League
The 22-year-old has been impressive for Bournemouth this season, appearing in nine of their ten Premier League matches and scoring in their win over Brighton. His performances have contributed to the Cherries climbing into the top five early in the campaign.
Recent International Experience
Scott's rise to the senior squad follows his key role in England's Under-21 side, where he played in all but one game during their victorious European Championship campaign, including the final win over Germany. He also has experience with England's Under-20, Under-19, and Under-18 teams.
Returns and Other Squad Updates
- Jude Bellingham returns to the squad after recovering from shoulder surgery. He recently scored in his last two La Liga games, including the El Clasico.
- Myles Lewis-Skelly has also been included, further adding options for Tuchel.
