Alex Scott Left Out of England’s Serbia Squad as Tuchel Trims to 23

A 23-player matchday limit prompted Tuchel to omit Alex Scott alongside injured defender Marc Guehi.

Overview

  • Scott remains in England’s 25-man group after his first senior call-up but must wait for a debut, with reports indicating he is likely to be available off the bench against Albania on Sunday.
  • Guehi misses the Serbia qualifier due to a foot problem and will be reassessed over the weekend with a potential return to Crystal Palace for treatment if there is no improvement.
  • UEFA regulations cap matchday selections at 23 players, forcing cuts from Tuchel’s 25-man squad for the Serbia and Albania qualifiers.
  • Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who had a minor hamstring issue, has been passed fit to be involved during the international window.
  • Bournemouth supporters celebrated Scott’s maiden call-up, while the midfielder called the selection a dream after his rapid rise from non-league football.
