After Dele Alli was left out of Tottenham’s match-day squad for the win at Southampton, Jose Mourinho was asked about the midfielder’s future at the club.

Jose Mourinho said “I’m not responsible for the market. I don’t know how to answer your question in relation to that. The only thing I can say is that I left eight players behind. They stayed and trained this morning because they are a big group and Dele is amongst these players. You could see our team. I cannot start with all of them and I cannot have a bench without defenders or midfielders. In the same way, the squad is a puzzle, the bench is also a little puzzle. So to have on the bench Toby (Alderweireld) and Serge (Aurier), and Moussa (Sissoko) and Gio (Lo Celso), (Eric) Lamela, and (Steven) Bergwijn. I cannot have on the bench four wingers or three wingers and a No 10, and then no defenders. Everything is a puzzle so in these matches that he stayed out, probably Tuesday he will play and others he will stay out.”
