Alex Scott’s fine breakthrough season continues with the Bristol City midfielder named in Ian Foster’s England Under-19 squad for the European Championships, which kick off in Slovakia this weekend.
Scott is one of only three non top-flight players, along with Peterborough United defender Ronnie Edwards and Sheffield United forward Daniel Jebbison, in the 21-man group having earned seven caps so far under Foster.
England begin their group stage fixtures against Austria on Sunday (kick-off: 7pm) with Scott very much in contention to start in central midfield, his more natural position having spent significant parts of the 2021/22 campaign as an auxiliary right wing-back.
