Bournemouth's Alex Scott has suffered an injury while on England duty and is expected to be out of action for two months. This news comes as a blow to manager Marco Rose, whose side is currently sitting 17th in the Premier League and is yet to secure a league win this season.
The 23-year-old midfielder was a key player in Bournemouth's early season performances, helping them establish leads in four of their first five games. The team has squandered nine points from winning positions in those matches.
With Scott unavailable for Bournemouth's upcoming match against Chelsea, the team may look to the more experienced Ryan Christie, who is in good form, to fill the void. Alex Toth, who has played just 55 minutes this season, is considered an unlikely replacement.
