Bournemouth’s Alex Scott Earns First England Call-Up for November Qualifiers

The 22-year-old aims to impress Thomas Tuchel after a rise from Guernsey non‑league football, following injury setbacks.

Overview

  • Scott said Tuchel informed him by text and then FaceTime that he would join the squad for matches against Serbia at Wembley on Thursday and Albania in Tirana on Sunday.
  • With England already qualified for 2026, the camp offers a chance to press claims for selection, and Scott says he will take the opportunity step by step.
  • The midfielder progressed from Guernsey FC to Bristol City before a £25m move to Bournemouth, adding England youth honours including Under-19 and Under-21 European titles.
  • He has returned to form this season after a serious knee injury and a broken jaw limited his first campaigns at Bournemouth.
  • He is leaning on advice from stepsister Maya Le Tissier and Bournemouth’s Lewis Cook, and he would become only the third male senior England international from the Channel Islands if he plays.
