Alex Scott has left the England camp with a quadriceps injury, according to The Athletic and there are fears he could be out for up to two months.
The 23-year-old made his first senior international start in Rijeka and was replaced by James Garner after 70 minutes.
England won 7-0. It was only his second senior appearance, after he came off the bench in last week’s win over the Czech Republic. He will miss Tuesday’s return fixture against the Czechs at Wembley.
He is said to have suffered a tendon injury and could be out for several weeks, with further scans planned.
Bournemouth play seven games between 10 October and 31 October, starting at Chelsea on Saturday, and Scott is expected to miss all of them.
He has scored once in five Premier League appearances this season. The setback comes while his future is under discussion.
Fabrizio Romano addressed it on his YouTube channel on Sunday evening.
According to Romano, several clubs pursued Scott in the summer. Chelsea made one official approach and one official bid, and Bournemouth rejected both.
He said Bournemouth gave Arsenal the same answer, and that there were some calls from Liverpool.
“On Alex Scott, what I can tell you is that Chelsea had one official approach and one official bid.
“So Chelsea tried in two different moments over the summer transfer window, but Bournemouth rejected them. Bournemouth never wanted to sell Alex Scott.
“The answer was the same to Chelsea, to Arsenal, and there were some calls from Liverpool. Several clubs were interested.
“Bournemouth always said no chance and that the player was staying there. So he was absolutely untouchable.
“In 2028 it could be a different story. Most likely in the summer, but let’s see what happens in January.”
“At the moment, Bournemouth insist that they want the player to complete the season and then leave in summer 2028.”
