Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says Dele Alli is likely to see action tomorrow night against Europa League opponents Maccabi Haifa.

Alli was left out of the Tottenham squads for the recent matches against Southampton and Newcastle United in the Premier League, then Tuesday night's Carabao Cup game with Chelsea.

Mourinho said: "I cannot confirm Dele's playing tomorrow but I cannot confirm he's not playing. We have still training sessions today, we have still decisions to make.

"The only thing I can say is he's being very, very professional. I have only respect for him. He's being very professional, particularly yesterday when the team was preparing for the game and he wasn't.

"It would be perfectly acceptable to have a lack of motivation, even a lack of professionalism for this training session, but it was exactly the opposite.

"He trained very hard yesterday. He has my respect and the respect of his team-mates so it's possible he plays tomorrow."
