The Tottenham stars stayed AWARE when Dele Alli is left OUT of José Mourinho’s team for the second consecutive game … with his future at the club now in serious doubt after the return of Gareth Bale
- Dele Alli has been left out of the Tottenham squad for his trip to Southampton
- The future of the Spurs midfielder is increasingly uncertain at the north London club
- Alli’s teammates were amazed that the England star had been left out
- There he stayed in London while the rest of the team flew to Bulgaria on Wednesday.
Tottenham players have been stunned after Dele Alli was not included in the call-up to face Southampton today.
The midfielder’s teammates are astonished that the English star has been left out of José Mourinho’s plans for the second consecutive game.
Sportsmail revealed on Wednesday how Alli stayed in London while the rest of the squad flew to Bulgaria for the clash against Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

And now more questions will be asked about Alli’s future.
Sportsmail reported this week how Tottenham had considered using Alli as a potential sweetener in their move to bring Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale back to the club.
That scenario seemed remote when Gareth Bale completed his emotional return to Spurs on a play driven by Mourinho.
Alli (right) is one of eight players who have stayed in London instead of traveling to Bulgaria.
The Wales international has agreed to the terms of a one-year contract that Sportsmail understands that they are worth more than £ 13 million, part of which will be financed by Real Madrid.
But the prospect of Alli leaving the Spurs before the October 5 transfer deadline is starting to look like a realistic possibility: His exclusion from the traveling group on Wednesday and Sunday is another indicator that his future, at least this season, it can stay elsewhere.
While Alli’s talent is undoubted, there is a mutual feeling throughout that the midfielder could benefit from a change to reinvigorate his career, especially if it becomes clear that Alli will not be playing regularly this season.
With the arrival of Bale, the competition for positions in offensive midfield positions will be fiercer in the coming weeks.
Alli was discussed as part of a trade deal for Gareth Bale, who has rejoined the club.
If the 24-year-old is available, there will be no shortage of candidates at national and European level.
But there is likely a reluctance to sell Alli permanently from within the club given the depreciated market caused by Covid, particularly for a player not long ago valued in the region of £ 100 million.
Tottenham would also prefer to give Alli to a foreign club so as not to strengthen a national rival.

Paris Saint-Germain have monitored Alli for several years, while Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte is known to be a longtime fan.
There, by his own admission, he has not lived up to the high standards he has set himself after bursting onto the scene in a sensational fashion five years ago.
Having become an integral part of Gareth Southgate’s squad at the 2018 World Cup, during which England euphorically reached the semi-finals, Alli has lost her place in the national team.
