Tottenham Hotspur will face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League after the international break.
Alli did not feature for Tottenham in the Premier League match against Crystal Palace at the Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday afternoon.
The midfielder has a hamstring problem, and will not play in England’s upcoming friendly international matches against Germany and Brazil.
Spurs manager Pochettino, though, has said that the 21-year-old attacking midfielder will be available to play against Arsenal.
Tottenham will face bitter North London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League after the international break.
“Dele Alli against Manchester United he felt in his tendon, in his posterior, close to his hamstring,” Pochettino told Football.London when asked how long Alli is out for.
“Then he played 90 minutes against Real Madrid. It’s a very small thing, but was a massive risk today to play.
“We’re sure he will be ready for Arsenal. We hope that it’s all going well in the next few weeks and will be available.”
Bad news for Arsenal
Arsenal will head into the two-week international break on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.
The Gunners’ title challenge seems to be over, and if Alli plays against them, then they could lose to Spurs.
Tottenham are a much better team than Arsenal and are in good form, and if Alli plays at the Emirates Stadium, then it is hard to see how Arsene Wenger’s side can pick up maximum points.
