Dele Alli's struggle for playing time will continue tonight after Jose Mourinho left him at home for Tottenham's trip to Burnley, according to The Athletic.
The England star has started just once in the Premier League all season - against Everton on the opening weekend - and has only racked up a further 21 minutes of top-flight action, having come off the bench away at Manchester United.
Alli will again be absent at Turf Moor this evening after Mourinho deemed the midfielder surplus to requirements once again.
The Athletic claim that the 24-year-old did not travel to Burnley with the rest of the squad on Sunday, despite coming off the bench in the Europa League last week.
