Some fans think that Alli’s injury is good news because of how poorly he played last year – and they are right he was not at his best last season.
Oh no poor dele. Hope you get it sorted soon.

While others believe he is an integral part of the team and they want him back as quickly as possible – Alli is still a valuable player for Tottenham.
