Bournemouth's Alex Scott Ruled Out Of Manchester City Clash
Alex Scott: Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed that rising star Alex Scott will not feature in Wednesday's (IST) Premier League clash against Manchester City, following surgery on a fractured jaw sustained during the Cherries’ recent fixture against Aston Villa.
The 21-year-old midfielder was forced off at half-time at Villa Park after a heavy collision with Tyrone Mings just seven minutes into the contest. Though he attempted to continue, the pain proved too severe, and subsequent scans revealed the extent of the injury, necessitating surgical intervention.
Speaking ahead of Bournemouth’s daunting trip to the Etihad Stadium, Iraola provided a hopeful update on Scott’s recovery. While ruling him out of the midweek fixture, the Spanish manager said Scott had already begun the process of getting fitted for a protective mask in the hope of returning to action before the season ends.
