​Tottenham manager Mourinho rules out Alli for Bournemouth

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho admits that Dele Alli will miss the team's upcoming Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

The London side are hoping to keep alive their faint hopes of qualifying for European football through the league.

But Mourinho will have to do without Alli against the Cherries on Thursday, as he is struggling with a hamstring problem.

Asked by reporters about Alli, Mourinho responded: "Small but not ready for tomorrow.

"We know that he had a little sad history about hamstrings last season I think so it's to be careful and not risk when you know that he has a little problem there.

"So tomorrow out."
