England international Dele Alli is working on his recovery with Everton, who remain open to offering him a deal depending on his progress
Dele has suffered a minor setback in his efforts to return to fitness. The 28-year-old is dealing with a muscle strain endured after he stepped up his rehabilitation work at Everton's Finch Farm training ground this summer. Providing an update on the England international's status, Sean Dyche said ahead of his side’s game with Newcastle United on Saturday: “He’s just making sure he’s right. He’s had a little bit of a slip back with his fitness so he is just in that total recovery period.
The Blues are open to offering a new deal to Dele depending on the strength of his comeback, with director of football Kevin Thelwell having addressed terms with Spurs that may have been prohibitive to the club choosing to pursue a move . Asked how Dele was dealing with the new issue, Dyche said: “It’s not easy but unfortunately it is part of being a professional footballer. Not for all, of course. I had a year out with my back, played one game and then did my back again the next week.
