Tuchel Insists No Risks Taken with Player Fitness as Konsa, Scott Become Latest England Withdrawals
Tuchel said England are prioritizing player welfare as injuries forced Ezri Konsa and Alex Scott out before Tuesday’s Nations League match.
- On Monday, England coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed Ezri Konsa and Alex Scott have withdrawn from the squad due to injury. Both players started Saturday's 7-0 win over Croatia but will miss Tuesday's Nations League match.
- Tuchel asserted that national team staff prioritize player health and take care of players in the 'best possible way.' He emphasized there was "absolutely no risk whatsoever apparent" to staff when Scott was cleared to play.
- Frustration at Bournemouth remains high over Scott's thigh injury, which could sideline the midfielder for eight weeks during a busy fixture run. Arsenal defender Konsa has been managing 'discomfort' since arriving at camp two weeks ago.
- This withdrawal follows a pattern of injury setbacks during the international break, with five players pulling out on the first day alone. Tuchel cited travel, varied training styles, and different pitches as factors increasing injury risk.
- England's final Nations League fixture against Czech Republic at Wembley on Tuesday presents both a challenge and opportunity. Captain Harry Kane could make his 125th appearance, tying the all-time caps record held by Peter Shilton.
