Scott (thigh) could be back working on the grass as early as next week after a positive MRI scan, according to manager Marco Rose, per BBC Radio Solent. "Maybe next week, he [Scott] can have some sessions back on the pitch. We'll see how his body reacts, but the picture was really good."
Analysis:Scott is making good progress from the thigh injury that forced him out of the England squad, and a positive MRI has opened the door for him to start working on the grass as soon as next week. That would mark an important step for a player who has been central to Bournemouth's midfield this season. His body's reaction to those first sessions will decide the next stage, and he could be back in contention for selection a few weeks after that if all goes well.
