Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to call upon Dele Alli or Eric Dier for tomorrow night’s Premier Lague match at Chelsea.
As reported by talkSPORT, the duo are both ruled out of the match through injury and illness respectively.
Alli has not featured for Mauricio Pochettino since the last-gasp win at Fulham on January 20 after being subbed off with a hamstring injury at Craven Cottage.
The 22-year-old has five goals and an assist to his name in the top-flight this season and played a key role as Spurs won at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 28 years last term.
The playmaker scored two second-half goals that day as the Whites beat their London rivals 3-1.
Dier has missed the club’s last three matches in all competitions, with his last appearance coming as a substitute in the 1-0 win over Newcastle United.
The central midfielder is struggling with tonsilitis and it is not yet known when he will be available to return to the first team.
Should Spurs win at Stamford Bridge tomorrow, their lead over Maurizio Sarri’s men in the Premier League will stretch to 13 points.
