The Story in 60 Seconds

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has withdrawn from the England squad and faces up to two months sidelined with a thigh injury. Scott impressed on his full international debut during England's 7-0 victory against Croatia on Saturday, but his existing discomfort worsened after he decided to play through the pain.
