Dele Alli

Alli is completely departing Everton, where he's been training without a contract in recent months.

Alli (groin) suffered an injury setback, according to manager Sean Dyche. "He's just making sure he's right. He's had a little bit of a slip back with his fitness so he is just in that total recovery period."

Alli's (groin) rehab will continue with Everton despite being out of contract. Director of Football Kevin Thelwell told reporters Friday, "Dele's contract is coming to an end, but our medical team will continue to support him while he completes the intensive rehabilitation programme he is currently undergoing following the operation he had earlier this year. Both Sean and I agree it is important we ensure Dele's rehabilitation is not impacted by his contract situation at such a critical point in his recovery."

Alli (groin) is continuing to make progress on his recovery but is still without a clear timeframe to get back on the pitch. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters Thursday, "Dele's focus is just getting fit. Obviously, he's got a period [to go] yet but he's just focusing on that. We're not worrying about when, just, first things first, get fit. That's all we're looking for him to do and that's all he's looking to do."

Alli underwent groin surgery recently and will remain out going forward, according to manager Sean Dyche. "There was a bit of a debate as to whether to [operate] or not, which is why it took some time, so now he'll be recovering from that."
