Frank Lampard has told Dele Alli to keep fighting for a place in the Everton side.
The 26-year-old is yet to make a start for the Toffees after joining from Tottenham in January and has been an unused substitute for the last two matches.
Asked if he had talked to Alli about his situation and the future, Lampard said: 'I have had those discussions with him.
'He'll be very clear as to where I am and at the moment I'm much more concerned about the collective, getting over the line as a group.
