Tottenham Hotspur are set to take on Swansea City in the FA Cup at the weekend.

Dele Alli is said to be facing a late fitness test ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s match with Swansea City this weekend by the London Evening Standard.

Alli picked up a knock last weekend, when Spurs beat Bournemouth 4-1.

Although the injury is not a serious one, Spurs are cautious over rushing players back too quickly.

With Harry Kane out injured, Mauricio Pochettino will not want to lose another of his key stars, in the shape of Alli.

And if Alli does miss out then it will surely be time for Lucas Moura to be given his third start.

Moura was brought to Spurs from PSG in the January transfer window, but he has been used sparingly so far.

Moura only has two starts against Rochdale to his name so far, but could be unleashed against Swansea on Saturday.

With Erik Lamela set to step in for Kane, Moura looks next in line to receive a chance.

And if Alli is ruled out, it could be time for Tottenham’s newest recruit to really show what he can do against top level opposition.
