The Tottenham Hotspur ace has been absent for over a month with a hamstring injury.
Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to Football London that he doesn’t know when Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli will be fully fit again.
The 22-year-old has only managed 15 minutes of football since the Carabao Cup win over Watford at Stadium MK on September 26, after making a cameo in the 1-0 defeat by Manchester City on Monday night.
It has been a hamstring injury which has kept the England ace sidelined for over a month, after suffering a recurrence of the problem whilst on international duty.
Spurs are back in action tonight as the North Londoners visit West Ham United in the League Cup, and although the Argentine hinted that the former MK Dons starlet may start, Pochettino was less certain about how long it’ll take Alli to reach 100 percent again.
Asked by Football London when he’ll be “fully fit”, Pochettino said: “It was so complicated and we were so disappointed when he got injured playing at Milton Keynes in the Carabao Cup and we do not want to suffer again a setback from him.
“We will see, maybe if he feels well maybe he will be available to play from the beginning on Wednesday, we will see if he can play an hour or 70 minutes. But we need to assess him every day to try to be consistent in the training and play more and more in the games.”
Alli, who has two goals in seven games for Tottenham this season, is a major player for Pochettino and the sooner he is back, the sooner Spurs can return to their free-flowing best.
