Dele Alli is sweating on his place in the England team following training ground talks with manager Gareth Southgate on Monday.
Alli was fully expected to start the clash against Italy on Tuesday night having been benched for the win over Holland on Friday.
But there is now uncertainty over whether the 21-year-old will feature from the first whistle at Wembley this evening.
Sources claim Southgate and Alli spoke at length after training on Monday, the final full session before Tuesday night’s friendly.
