Alli to be assessed by Tottenham ahead of FA Cup replay with Southampton

Tottenham will assess Dele Alli ahead of the FA Cup fourth-round replay with Southampton.

Alli was injured due to a reckless tackle from Raheem Sterling in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Manchester City, but could play.

Steven Berwijn is ineligible having joined after the original tie while Moussa Sissoko (knee) and Harry Kane (ankle) miss out.

Stuart Armstrong remains a doubt for Southampton due to a hip problem.

Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl says the midfielder is ahead of schedule in his recovery but the cup replay will probably be too soon.

Defender Yan Valery is also set to miss out due to a viral infection while new signing Kyle Walker-Peters is ineligible to face his parent club.

Provisional Tottenham squad. Lloris, Gazzaniga, Vorm, Aurier, Tanganga, Foyth, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Alli, Lamela, Moura, Fernandes, Son, Troy Parrott.

Provisional Southampton squad: McCarthy, Bertrand, Vestergaard, Stephens, Bednarek, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Djenepo, Smallbone, Redmond, Obafemi, Ings, Gunn, Danso, Romeu, Boufal, Long, Adams.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
