Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says Dele Alli could be fit for their clash with Brighton.

Spurs have been without Alli for the last two losses but Pochettino says the England international could return to face Brighton, despite missing training on Thursday.

He said: “We still we need to wait until tomorrow to assess whether he will be part of the squad. Maybe we need to wait a few days more to involve him.

“We are never going to put ourselves or interests in front of taking risks for a player. It's impossible.

“We need to feel they are 100 per cent. Football is a sport you always assume the risk but if you are conscious to take a risk it is impossible to take that decision."
