England boss Thomas Tuchel says Alex Scott's performances have earned the Bournemouth midfielder his first senior call-up and that he wants to see his "talent and personality" in the camp.

The Three Lions take on Serbia (13 November) and Albania (16 November) in World Cup qualifiers, having already secured their spot at next summer's tournament.

"Alex deserves to be with us," Tuchel said. "I first saw him closely in the Euros with the Under-21s where he was excellent together with Elliot Anderson.

"Since then, he has stepped up really well and is a regular starter for Bournemouth.

"He has come a long way and has performed his way into this nomination.

"He will get a number eight role and hopefully he can prove us right and show us his talent and his personality."

England boss Thomas Tuchel says he does not see Phil Foden as a winger and that he will play a central role for the Three Lions.

The Manchester City forward has earned an England recall for their World Cup qualifiers against Serbia (13 November) and Albania (16 November).

"Where he played lately [against] Dortmund was where I see him the strongest. Close to the opponent's box, maybe as a mix between a nine and a 10," Tuchel said.

"For me, Phil scores and assists more from the 18-yard box where he scored against Dortmund. He's in the pockets and he assists.

"The main thing with Phil is that he gets a role in the central part of the pitch. I don't see him as a winger at the moment and maybe not any more.

"He should have a central role. I think that brings out his strengths the most. We've talked about this already with him."
