'We can't just get our violins out' - Alli urges Tottenham to move on from striker injury crisis

Dele Alli has called on Tottenham to 'step up' as their injury crisis in attack worsened ahead of their Champions League tie against RB Leipzig.

Spurs revealed on Monday that Dutch forward Steven Bergwijn had suffered a "significant" sprain to his left knee during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Burnley - with Jose Mourinho admitting the player is unlikely to feature again this season.

The injury further limits Tottenham's attacking options, with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min already out until the closing weeks of the campaign.
