England head coach Thomas Tuchel has named Bournemouth's Alex Scott in the senior squad for the first time ahead of the World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania. This selection comes as England has already secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico by winning all their previous six qualifiers.
Tuchel has used this opportunity to refresh the team roster. Jude Bellingham returns to the squad after recovering from shoulder surgery. Bellingham has made a strong comeback, scoring in his last two La Liga matches, including the high-profile El Clasico.
The 22-year-old Scott has impressed this season in the Premier League, featuring in nine of Bournemouth’s first ten games and scoring in a win against Brighton. His performances have contributed to Bournemouth climbing into the top five early in the campaign.
Scott’s rise to the senior team follows solid achievements with England’s youth squads. He played in nearly all matches for the England Under-21 team during their successful European Championship campaign, finishing with a final win over Germany. He has also represented England at the Under-20, Under-19, and Under-18 levels.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is among other players called up, showing the coach’s intent to test several options ahead of future fixtures.
Summary: Alex Scott earns his first senior England call-up as part of a refreshed squad led by Thomas Tuchel, alongside the return of Jude Bellingham after injury recovery.
