'Hopefully Scott can prove us right' - Tuchel

- Published
England boss Thomas Tuchel says Alex Scott's performances have earned the Bournemouth midfielder his first senior call-up and that he wants to see his "talent and personality" in the camp.
The Three Lions take on Serbia (13 November) and Albania (16 November) in World Cup qualifiers, having already secured their spot at next summer's tournament.
"Alex deserves to be with us," Tuchel said. "I first saw him closely in the Euros with the Under-21s where he was excellent together with Elliot Anderson.
"Since then, he has stepped up really well and is a regular starter for Bournemouth.
"He has come a long way and has performed his way into this nomination.
"He will get a number eight role and hopefully he can prove us right and show us his talent and his personality."
