Tottenham's Dele Alli Likely to Miss Start of Season with Hamstring Injury

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said he doesn't think Dele Alli will be fit for the start of the 2019-20 season as the midfielder remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Alli, 23, was absent from Tottenham's squad as they lost to Inter Milan on penalties in their final 2019 International Champions Cup game on Sunday following a 1-1 draw.

Speaking after the result, Pochettino appeared disheartened by the number of hamstring injuries that have held his players back in recent seasons, per journalist Alasdair Gold:
