Everton star Dele Alli has suffered a setback as he looks to recover from a hip injury.

Alli had surgery on his hip to get himself back to top condition in time for the new season.

Per The Mail, Alli is “miles away" from fitness according to his manager Sean Dyche.

Alli had to ease his schedule as his rehabilitation is not going as quickly as he may want.

The attacker has been encouraged to take it easy and focus on strengthening exercises.

He is not even yet able to complete light training for several days without feeling discomfort.
