Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli carrying thigh injury

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli is carrying a thigh injury suffered in England's World Cup win over Tunisia.

The 22-year-old helped Gareth Southgate's men to a 2-1 victory in Volgograd on Monday, when he looked set to come off in the first half after suffering a knock.

Fabian Delph was stripped and seemingly ready to come on, but Alli managed 80 minutes before eventually being replaced.

The England midfielder went for a scan as his team-mates trained on Tuesday afternoon and the FA has confirmed the assessment showed a minor thigh strain that will need managing over the coming days.
