Dele Alli back in training ahead of Crystal Palace clash
Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a major boost ahead of the final game of the season against Crystal Palace, as midfield star Dele Alli was seen back in training.
The 24-year-old England international has missed the last four matches due to a hamstring injury he picked up during a training session. As a result, he has featured for just 77 minutes since the restart of the season last month.
However, Alli was spotted back involved in training with the rest of the team ahead of the crunch clash against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.

Following our 3-0 win against Leicester City this past weekend, we are currently seventh in the league table, just a point shy of Wolves in sixth, who will be playing Chelsea on the final day of the season.
A win there, coupled with Wolves’ dropping points would ensure a top six finish and the Europa League qualification for Spurs.
And having Alli back in the squad for such a pivotal game will only be a boost, even though he hasn’t had the best of seasons. In 37 appearances across all competitions, the 24-year-old has netted nine goals and created seven more for his teammates.
While he was pictured training, an update on his availability should be provided by Jose Mourinho when he appears for his press conference. Apart from Alli, Juan Foyth, who has also been injured for quite some time, was also spotted going through the drills on Wednesday. However, the Argentine is unlikely to play any part on Sunday.
