# Many Tottenham fans react to news of Dele Alli’s latest injury

“More misery,” “Blessing in disguise” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are split on if Dele Alli’s injury is a benefit or a hindrance to their team.

Alli was not at his [best last year](https://talksport.com/football/536073/tottenham-dele-alli-gus-poyet/) – and often let games [pass him by](https://talksport.com/football/536073/tottenham-dele-alli-gus-poyet/), but he has [undoubted talent](https://www.itsroundanditswhite.co.uk/articles/can-dele-alli-pick-himself-from-the-dust-of-his-mistakes), and at only 23 he still has a long career ahead of him.

The former MK Dons man, however, will miss Spurs’ opening game against [Aston Villa](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11777565/dele-alli-to-miss-start-of-tottenhams-premier-league-season-says-mauricio-pochettino) on Saturday – with a [hamstring injury](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11777565/dele-alli-to-miss-start-of-tottenhams-premier-league-season-says-mauricio-pochettino).

This news has caused sparked a mixed reaction from many Tottenham fans.

Some fans think that Alli’s injury is good news because of how [poorly he played](https://talksport.com/football/536073/tottenham-dele-alli-gus-poyet/) last year – and they are right he was not at his best last season.

> Oh no poor dele. Hope you get it sorted soon.

While others believe he is an integral part of the team and they want him back as quickly as possible – Alli is still a valuable player for Tottenham.
