“Jesus wept, he’s made of balsa wood” some fans react to news that a Spurs’ 24-yr old now has a Hamstring Injury

It’s not unfair comment to say that there’s been a recurring theme since Spurs moved to Hotspur Way, namely our physio room is never empty. For all the talk of world class facilities, they count for little if they don’t improve the teams’ chances.

In today’s press conference, Jose Mourino has revealed that Dele Alli has managed to pick up hamstring injury in training. The gaffer apparently played it down, as not being “important”, but it was either a hamstring injury or it wasn’t.

Dele played for just 21minutes against Sheffield United on Thursday, and so was hardly run ragged in his 9 touches of the ball.

When does the good news arrive?
