Scott delivered an impressive performance during his first full international appearance when England secured a commanding 7-0 victory over Croatia in the Nations League on Saturday. Despite experiencing discomfort in the lead-up to the fixture, he completed 70 minutes in the central midfield position, operating alongside Elliot Anderson before being withdrawn from the match.

The injury comes at a challenging time for Bournemouth, who face a demanding fixture schedule with nine matches scheduled between 10 October and 8 November. Scott's absence will impact the club's midfield options during this congested period of competition.
