'Tired' Alli will be fit for Champions League final says Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino has calmed fears that Tottenham ace Dele Alli will not be fit enough for the Champions League final, after the midfielder was subbed at half-time during Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Everton.

Alli, who played the decisive pass to tee up Lucas Moura for his hat-trick against Ajax on Wednesday to advance Spurs to the final in Madrid, was withdrawn against the Toffees after an under-par first 45 minutes.

Pochettino, whose side confirmed their fourth-position with the draw, is confident the injury will not keep him out of the clash with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.
