England manager Gareth Southgate believes Dele Alli should be fit for Tottenham’s clash against Liverpool on 15th September.

A Football.london report claims Alli picked up a minor muscle strain during England’s 2-1 loss at the hands of Spain.

The report adds that the player is set to miss the clash against Switzerland at King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

Southgate was speaking to the press on Monday and allayed fears of a long-term injury for the 22-year-old.

The manager was quoted by Football London, where he even praised Alli for his performance against La Furia Roja.

“He’s had a minor strain but I think he should be fine for his club this weekend.”

“I thought Dele’s performance was good against Spain. He makes critical forward runs and he learned a lot from the game.”

Although Alli only has one goal to his name this season, the Englishman is an important figure for us.

Alli is a match-winner on his day and his return for the Liverpool game will be a huge boost as Tottenham must aim to hand the Reds their first defeat of the season.

The match is important as we need to get back to winning ways after our 2-1 loss against Watford on the previous match day.

Liverpool lead the Premier League with 12 points from four games but we performed quite well when we faced them at Wembley last season.

Another 4-1 win looks unlikely but we could sneak past the Reds should we perform to the best of our abilities.
