Dele Alli sends message as he bids to force his way back into the Tottenham team

Tottenham fans will be hoping to see the best of Dele Alli once Premier League action resumes after the international break.

Missing the first few weeks of the campaign after picking up a hamstring injury ahead of the Inter Milan friendly, the 23-year-old has only made four appearances for the team so far.

The midfielder has failed to impress in his time on the pitch and Mauricio Pochettino elected against bringing him on at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend with Spurs needing to find a way back into the game.

Alli's lack of minutes has seen him miss out on the England squad and he does face a battle to force his way back into Gareth Southagate's plans.

His absence for this month's qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria has meant that he has remained in north London with the rest of his teammates who have not been called up for international action.

Eric Dier and Lucas Moura are two of those to remain at Hotspur Way, with Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon also at the club's training base as they bid to recover from their respective injuries.

Well, it does appear that Alli is putting in the work as he aims to be named in the team against Watford next Saturday as he posted an update on his Instagram account.

"It never stops," said the player as he uploaded an image of him doing some stretches.

Pochettino is expected to make changes against the Hornets and Alli will be hoping to catch his manager's eye in training to earn a place in the starting XI.
