Alex Scott Has Step-Sister in Lionesses Squad as Duo Make History

Bournemouth star Alex Scott has a step-sister who plays for the Lionesses as the duo make history ahead of the latest international break.

Next week, England will take on Albania and Serbia as they conclude their qualifying fixtures ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel's men booked their place in the tournament, which will be held across North America, last month following a comfortable 5-0 win over Latvia.

On Friday, Tuchel named his latest England squad, with the likes of Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden earning a recall after missing the October camp.

Meanwhile, Scott, 22, received his first senior England call-up after putting in impressive performances for Bournemouth.

So far, Scott has played 11 matches across all competitions for the Cherries, registering one assist.

By earning a first call-up to the Three Lions senior squad, Scott is set to follow in the footsteps of step-sister, Maya Le Tissier, who has represented the Lionesses team under Sarina Wiegman.

Scott and Le Tissier are set to be the first step-siblings to represent England men's and women's teams.

Le Tissier, 23, plays for Manchester United in the WSL and has made 10 appearances for the Lionesses.

What did Thomas Tuchel say about Alex Scott?

Explaining his decision to include Scott in his latest squad, Tuchel said: "Alex deserves to be with us. 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."
