Bournemouth Midfielder Alex Scott Undergoes Surgery After Tyrone Mings Elbow Fractures Jaw

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott suffered a displaced fractured jaw during a Premier League match against Aston Villa, caused by a violent elbow from Villa defender Tyrone Mings. Scott, 21, was injured early in the match but continued playing until halftime when he was substituted due to the severity of the injury. Bournemouth confirmed that Scott will undergo surgery to stabilize his jaw and will miss the remainder of the season. Manager Andoni Iraola condemned Mings' action as dangerous and believed it warranted a red card, which was not given, while Villa teammate Jacob Ramsey was sent off later in the match. The incident has raised concerns about player safety and disciplinary decisions in the game. Bournemouth currently sit 10th in the league and will continue their campaign without Scott.
