Latest Spurs news: Dele Alli confirms he does not need surgery on broken hand
Dele Alli gave a lengthy interview to the Guardian and claimed he had improved this season despite not scoring enough goals or providing assists.
The 23-year-old England international suffered a few injuries this season, and only managed seven goals and eight assists. Alli was involved in over 30 goals in the 2017-18 season, but the injuries seem to have affected his output.
The youngster also broke his hand in the 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinals, and the Englishman has been playing with a cast ever since.
However, Alli provided some good news regarding his problem and told the Guardian that he won’t need surgery:
“Delph’s head broke my hand. They said I could have had an operation when it first happened but I would have had to miss a few weeks.
“It’s not fully healed yet but this was the last game they said I’d need the cast. I won’t need the op, it’s healing well.”
Alli played in both of England’s Nations League final games but was below par as the Three Lions finished third.
Alli learns a lot from the season
The Englishman added he had improved certain aspects of his game despite the lack of goals:
“I haven’t scored as many goals or got as many assists but other parts of my game, defensively, in possession, not just getting on the end of things and finishing chances, I think I’ve improved on that.”
Alli was hopeful that things would fall into place for him next season as Tottenham look to win a trophy under Mauricio Pochettino.
