He has not played a competitive match since February 2023 due to a hip injury then a problem with his groin.

The 37-cap England international has still been having treatment for his injury at Everton despite his contract expiring a fortnight ago and has taken part in light training sessions.

Alli has not made a first-team appearance in over a year – which came during his loan at Besiktas – amid a string of problems, including a groin injury.

The midfielder last year opened up on his mental health problems and struggles with addiction since he was last seen on a Premier League football pitch.

Following his deeply emotional and candid revelation in July 2023, he was hoping to make a swift comeback. But a fresh injury setback scuppered plans of a speedy reintegration and leave him some way short of a return to action.

Regarding Alli’s return date, Everton boss Sean Dyche said in February: ‘We’ll see. There’s a long way to go. We’ve deliberately kept him back, we agreed with him to give him time and space. Hopefully he’ll be back, we just don’t know.

‘We’ve given him the privacy he needs at this time. He’s in good shape. I spoke to him recently and we had a good long conversation with him.

‘Making sense of another injury is difficult but he’ll come through that.’
