Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad after sustaining a tendon injury during the 7‑0 win over Croatia, Sky Sports reports. The injury forced him to miss upcoming fixtures, with medical staff estimating a recovery period of several weeks.

Scott, who has been a regular selection for England in recent international matches, suffered the tendon problem during the warm‑up session before the match against Croatia. The injury was identified by the team’s medical team and deemed serious enough to warrant his withdrawal from the squad for the remainder of the current campaign.

The England side will now have to adjust its midfield options in the coming games. Coaches will need to select replacements who can fill the gap left by Scott’s absence, while the squad’s depth will be tested as they prepare for the next set of friendlies and qualification matches.

Medical staff are optimistic that with proper rehabilitation, Scott could return to full training within several weeks. In the meantime, England will focus on maintaining squad cohesion and exploring alternative tactical setups to compensate for the loss of a key player.
