England - and the Premier League - indebted to the EFL again. Look at Thomas Tuchel's young midfield options. Alex Scott, called up for the first time, shows the importance of the EFL in player development – 91 games for Bristol City before Bournemouth came calling. His journey also highlights the importance of the FA pathway.
Scott won the Under-19 Euros in 2022, won the Under-21 Euros this summer, and now steps up into England seniors for the first time. “Alex deserves to be with us,” Tuchel said of the 22-year-old. “I first closely saw him in the Euros, with the Under-21s, where he did excellently together with Elliot Anderson in central midfield and played a huge part in the title win for the Under-21s.
"Since then, he stepped really up and is a regular starter for Bournemouth, who are overperforming constantly in the league. He will come as a No 8. Hopefully he can prove us right and show his talent and personality.”
Anderson, 22, himself developed on loan from Newcastle United at Bristol Rovers – 21 games in League Two, seven goals. Anderson a slight doubt for England v Serbia and Albania. “Elliot did very, very well for us in central defensive midfield, but he suffers a little bit from pain and discomfort at the moment. Nothing major. I think he will be involved in the weekend's match for Forest, but we are aware of that.” Shaun Dyche rested Anderson against Sturm Graz in advance of Sunday’s Premier League game against Leeds United.
Tuchel has been keen to get Adam Wharton, 21, involved anyway, but knows he can cover for Anderson. “We added Adam to the team, first of all, because he deserves it. We tried for the third time to call him up, I hope he stays fit and is able to come. One was a concussion protocol and an eye problem and next one was groin problems that hold him back.”
Wharton is another indebted to the pyramid for his development – 51 games for Blackburn Rovers. #ENG #EFL
