Jose Mourinho says it is "possible" Dele Alli makes a return to the Tottenham team for their home Europa League play-off tie against Maccabi Haifa, hinting that he does still have a role to play in the long-term at the club.
England playmaker Alli has been left out of the Spurs squad for three consecutive matches and linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.
Mourinho has been delighted by the way the 24-year-old has handled recent adversity and did not rule out him being handed a comeback for Thursday's home match.
