Alli provides injury scare for Spurs ahead of Norwich clash

Norwich City host Tottenham Hotspur later today in a crucial Premier League match for both sides.

The home side are looking to battle against relegation whilst the visitors are trying to mount a challenge to finish in the top four.

Daniel Farke’s side suffered a slender defeat against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, with Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton producing a string of fine saves.

Jose Mourinho’s side came back to win 2-1 against Brighton but as reported on the Metro, Dele Alli has provided an injury scare for the north London club.

Alli was seen clutching his groin as he walked down the tunnel and could be doubtful for the clash at Carrow Road.

This comes as a welcome boost for the hosts because Alli has been in good form since Mourinho took over.

He’s been the man linking the midfield and attack but with the match coming so soon after Boxing Day, he may not be risked.

We’ll have to wait and see but the home side know that a victory would be more possible if Spurs were without their key man Alli.
