Dele Alli signs shirts and poses for photos with consoling Everton supporters as one fan holds up a sign reading: 'We are all with you' after the midfielder's emotional interview

Dele Alli has taken time out of pre-season training to meet Everton supporters who have travelled to Switzerland for the team's first friendly match before the new season.

Everton flew to Switzerland for their first pre-season warm-up game against Stade Nyonnais, with Alli involved in training but not taking part in the match as he continues to recover from injury.

Alli gave an incredibly honest interview with Gary Neville that was published on Thursday where he explained his battles with sleeping pill addiction and also harrowing childhood abuse.

He has been met with an outpouring of support from fellow athletes, royalty, and well-wishers and was given a further boost by Everton fans in-person on Friday.
