Dele Alli will not be fit for Sunday's north London derby because of his hamstring injury #THFC #COYS

Jonathan Veal of Press Association Sport tells us that Dele Alli’s hamstring injury is considerably worse than perhaps Jose Mourinho first thought.
Quite what one is supposed to make of this news is beyond me. Dele’s had another indifferent season and it would be a blatant lie to say he’ll be missed. What really irks is that some fans, such the Tweet below are prepared to somehow mentally compartmentalize players, to allow them to exist in a weird safe space, like Jermaine Jenas did.
He hates Arsenal, does he. Well it’s a crying shame we routinely only play them once year, eh?
Here’s an infographic showing how the boy’s declined… but it’s okay, he hates Arsenal
Dropped by England and struggling to keep his place in Tottenham’s first team, Dele Alli’s unavailability is unlikely to neither here nor there come next Sunday.
He believed the hype then got “found out.
Heart breaking
Dele has nine goals and six assists this season but the graph above has him down as 0 goals & 0 assists and only playing three games?
Yeah, I don’t think I will be available for Sunday’s match either.
So will i, I’ll be hiding behind the couch.
Probably fairly happy not to be a scapegoat for the haplesness on show at the moment.
Dele’s decline is sad but typical of younger players who quickly reach a level where they think they’ve made it.I thought having a new manager might have been the jolt he needed,but his malaise has continued and there appears to be no end in sight.I think he will be moved on,but not for the money expected before this season.
