Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has shrugged off his England snub.

After Bournemouth's 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Friday night, Scott was asked about missing England's 35-man squad for this month's friendlies.

The selection will be the last before England coach Thomas Tuchel names his final World Cup squad.

Scott said: "I think  it's fuel. Obviously disappointed, everyone wants to play for their country.

"But in England, there's so many top players. Kobbie (Mainoo) was playing today. There's unreal players in the midfield spots. It's tough to get into that squad.

"For me, it's head down, keep focusing, keep performing, and hopefully I put myself in the best position possible for the summer."
