You may be right although I'd have thought scouts would have seen enough of Scott's performances against men in the Championship (and Man City) to judge him than against teams in an Under 20 competition albeit world. Knee ligament injuries, which he had earlier this season, can often return much worse. God forbid. Scott has played, other than his injury, for 12 months non stop. His body needs a rest. If I was SL I'd wrap Scott in cotton wool keeping him far away from a football pitch.
