Uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has been left out of the England squad to face Serbia in a World Cup qualifier at Wembley on Thursday.

"In my mind then, there was there was no chance of becoming a professional football player let alone playing in the Premier League and playing for England as well," Scott told BBC Radio Guernsey in September. "It's been a crazy five or six years of my life and and things have changed drastically for me and my family."

The adrenalin jolt that accompanies the start of the European club season has long since passed. The weather is getting colder -- in most places, anyway -- and the grind of the season is very much underway. The ups have given way to downs, or vice versa. So it goes for members of the U.S. men's national team. Injuries have piled up, and in some cases, FIFA World Cup dreams are in peril.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a second-half hat-trick, including a 97th-minute leveller from the penalty spot to help Crystal Palace snatch a point in an enthralling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth. Ryan Christie's late goal looked to have sent Andoni Iraola's side to the Premier League summit, but after Marc Guehi was fouled by Bafode Diakite inside the box, Mateta kept his cool from 12 yards to seal a share of the spoils.

A three-year-old boy was seriously injured in a crash involving a van in a car park in Bournemouth. Emergency services were called at around 12.36pm on Saturday to reports of an incident involving a child and a blue Vauxhall Vivaro van in the car park of Lansdowne Court, Lansdowne Road. The boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries, Dorset Police said, and his family has been informed.

Key FPL notes: No midfielder has had as many big chances (six) or scored more goals (four) than Antoine Semenyo (7.8m), while only two have had more than his 14 shots. He is the second-highest scoring player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) with 48 points. Marcos Senesi (4.9m) is the highest-scoring defender in Fantasy with 44 points. He has three clean sheets and two assists and is the only defender to return defensive contribution (DefCon) points in every single Gameweek so far this season.

Adrien Truffert has form for hitting the ground running. At Rennes, the club he joined at 13 and spent a decade at until leaving for Bournemouth in the summer, his debut arrived as a substitute against Monaco and culminated in him teeing up the equaliser with a wicked left-foot cross and then scoring a stoppage-time winner. Aged 18, Truffert sent a shot underneath Benjamin Lecomte, the opposition goalkeeper who visits Bournemouth with Fulham on Friday.
