Overview

  • Como manager Cesc Fàbregas has removed the former England international from first-team activities, forcing him to train apart from the main squad.
  • Alli has not featured in any of Como’s summer friendlies since joining on an 18-month free transfer in January.
  • His sole competitive outing came in March at the San Siro, where he was sent off after nine minutes for a challenge on Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
  • Signed with an option to extend through 2026, the former Tottenham midfielder had hoped to revive his career under Fàbregas’s leadership.
  • Persistent fitness setbacks and form issues from spells at Everton and Beşiktaş have left the 29-year-old contemplating whether to hang up his boots.
