Dele Alli is named in matchday squad for the first time in TWO years - as Cesc Fabregas picks ex-Tottenham star in Como side travelling to Roma

Former Tottenham star Dele Alli has been handed a career lifeline after being named in a matchday squad for the first time in two years.

Alli, 28, is now in contention to feature for the Italian side in their Serie A clash against Roma on Sunday afternoon.

He has endured a difficult period in his journey as a professional since leaving Spurs permanently in 2022.

After signing for the north London side as a teenager from MK Dons, Dele became an integral part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans in a side that reached the Champions League final in 2019.
