Overview
- Bournemouth manager Marco Rose said an MRI taken this week showed better-than-expected healing, allowing the club to move from conservative rest to active rehabilitation.
- The club no longer expects a two-month absence and is now targeting a layoff measured in weeks, with Rose estimating roughly three to four weeks depending on Scott’s response to load.
- Scott suffered a thigh injury while making his first England start in the 7-0 win over Croatia, and he remains unavailable for the next Bournemouth match as he begins graded training.
- Bournemouth will bring Scott back onto the pitch in controlled sessions to monitor how his thigh responds before clearing him for full team action.
- The quicker recovery alters short-term availability and could limit the immediate transfer-window impact on Scott’s valuation, which has previously been reported at about £100m.
