Alli was absent from the Tottenham squad for Saturday’s 3-2 win against Wolves at Molineux.
OPINION
Has Alli suffered a relapse in his recovery from the hamstring injury that recently sidelined him for a month? Fears will be growing that could be the case after the 22-year-old, who has only recently returned for a second time from a hamstring injury that he first sustained on England duty, missed the start of open training today (Monday). Alli came off the bench against Manchester City in last Monday’s 1-0 defeat and looked lively before then playing for an hour two days later as Spurs beat West Ham 3-1 in the League Cup. The England international was then left out of the squad entirely for the match against Wolves, which came as something of a surprise. Mauricio Pochettino has voiced caution over Alli’s game time, wary of the player being overloaded and breaking down again. The attacking midfielder is one of the team’s outstanding players and one they need fit and firing. His goal scoring and goal creating are second only to Harry Kane, and he will be needed if Spurs are to continue their fine start to the season.
