Tottenham ace Dele Alli set to be dropped for Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund but Danny Rose could be recalled
Alli was poor in the North London derby at the Emirates and was hauled off in the second half and if he features against the Bundesliga side he could face ref who reported him for Wembley middle finger gesture against Slovakia
DELE ALLI is set to be dropped for Tottenham’s Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
The Times report the England international will be on the bench in Germany as Spurs look to cement top spot in Group H.
The 21-year-old has struggled so far this season scoring just three Premier League goals and was off the pace in the North London derby defeat at the Emirates.
If Alli does feature at the Westfalenstadion on Wednesday, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has warned him to be on his best behaviour due to the identity of the referee.
Clement Turpin will be in charge, the same ref who reported Alli to Fifa for his "middle finger gesture" during England’s World Cup qualifier against Slovakia in September.
Alli served a one-game ban and has been warned by his manager Turpin could have his eye on him.
Poch said: “It’s important to be aware, I will tell Dele to be careful if he plays.

“Always it’s important, the referee moves on and I’m sure there’s nothing in his mind to ban him for that situation.
“But it is always good to know, I will tell Dele.”
