Tottenham Hotspur could welcome Dele Alli back to the fold against Southampton tomorrow.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to reporters during his pre-match press conference yesterday, and suggested that Dele Alli is in contention to make his return to the first-team fold for tomorrow’s clash with Southampton, as quoted by Football.London.
The 22-year-old has been out of action since injuring his hamstring away at Fulham in January, and Spurs have really missed the England international.
Dele has firmly established himself as one of Europe’s best midfielders over the past few years, and having him back and available for selection will be a huge boost for Tottenham ahead of the Premier League and Champions League run-in.
Pochettino addressed the media yesterday, and suggested that having the former MK Dons man back is good news for his side ahead of their trip to Southampton, as quoted by Football.London:
“Yes, that’s good news to be available. We need to wait tomorrow for the last training. But in all aspects doing so well and hope he’s going to be available and maybe can play on Saturday.”
Tottenham are probably too far behind in the race for the Premier League title, but they will be determined to get their domestic campaign back on track away at Southampton, by earning all three points and cementing their place in third spot in the table.
And having Dele back and available for selection will greatly enhance their chances of doing just that.
