Dele Alli is facing an extended ban from European games for the horror tackle that saw him sent off at Wembley on Thursday.
The 20-year-old midfielder received the first straight red card of his career when he landed a knee-high, studs-up challenge on Gent’s Brecht Dejaegere.
Alli is fast developing a reputation for his antics after a string of offences, including being given a retrospective three-match ban for punching West Bromwich Albion’s Claudio Yacob in the stomach in a Premier League match last year.
Straight red cards only guarantee a one-match ban under Uefa rules, but the governing body are set to review Alli’s case and it is expected to be increased to at least three matches.
