Full Tottenham squad revealed ahead of Burnley clash as Jose Mourinho makes Dele Alli decision

Tottenham Hotspur take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Monday evening, with Jose Mourinho hoping his side can translate their Europa League form into the Premier League.

Spurs beat LASK 3-0 on Thursday evening to get their European campaign off to the perfect start, with goals from Lucas Moura, an own goal and Son Heung-min capping off a good night's work.

Mourinho will be especially keen for his side to take three points against Burnley, given the dramatic 3-3 draw with West Ham last weekend, when Tottenham blew a three-goal lead with 10 minutes remaining.

Speaking ahead of the trip to Turf Moor, Mourinho lamented the fact that supporters were still not allowed inside stadiums to enjoy his team's rich attacking form.

Mourinho post-match press conference after Spurs beat LASK

"I am [enjoying Tottenham's attacking flair] but I’m sad with the empty stadiums," he said after the win over LASK.

"Tonight, I had an even worse feeling than in the Premier League. Maybe because of the way the stadium is – all of the orange logos of the Europa League all around the stadium, the beautiful big screens.

"Teams are playing with some fans, I’m not even speaking about full stadiums but with some fans … in the majority of countries it’s possible and we are going to have that next week in Belgium. It would be really great fun.

"I think the Tottenham fans, they have a little bit of that in their DNA – quality players, attacking players, attacking style … they would enjoy to be here to watch it."

In terms of injury news ahead of the game, Mourinho will have to make a late check on Eric Dier, who missed the game against LASK on Thursday after failing to recover from a hamstring problem suffered on international duty.

“It’s the same story, Dier and Tanganga out, and everybody fit,” Mourinho said after training on Wednesday.

However, Dier posted an update on Instagram, hinting that he and fellow defender Japhet Tanganga were making progress in their recoveries.

The caption said: "Great week's work".

Giovani Lo Celso and Erik Lamela should be fit for selection, however, after the pair both played on Thursday night.

Dele Alli will not take part though, with The Athletic reporting that the midfielder has been left out of the squad which travelled to Burnley.

Full Tottenham squad available:

Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris, Joe Hart, Paulo Gazzaniga

Defenders: Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Serge Aurier, Ben Davies, Dennis Cirkin, Joe Rodon

Midfielders: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Harry Winks, Erik Lamela, Moussa Sissoko, Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele, Jack Clarke, Gedson Fernandes

Forwards: Harry Kane, Steven Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, Gareth Bale, Carlos Vinicius, Son Heung-min
