Joe Wright 24 December, 2018 09:33 IST Pochettino hopes for good news on Alli injury Joe Wright 24 December, 2018 09:33 IST Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful Dele Alli did not sustain a serious injury in Tottenham's Premier League thrashing of Everton on Sunday.Spurs fought back from a goal down to claim a 6-2 victory at Goodison Park, with Alli and Christian Eriksen scoring once and Harry Kane and Son Heung-min each netting a double.The result lifts Pochettino's men to within two points of second-placed Manchester City, but their victory was soured when Alli failed to emerge for the second half following a heavy challenge from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.Pochettino thinks Alli was fatigued from Wednesday's EFL Cup win over Arsenal and hopes the England star has not suffered anything major."He didn't feel a big problem," the Spurs boss told Sky Sports. "Maybe [he was] a little bit tired from Wednesday. I hope it's not a big issue. It was a precaution." pic.twitter.com/saf5TSDHuO— Dele (@dele_official) December 23, 2018 Pochettino added at a news conference: "I didn't see [the challenge]. I am curious to see the action."I didn't want to say because I've not seen the video. It was a tough action. We hope it's not a big issue."Spurs host Bournemouth on December 26 and Wolves on December 29, before heading to Cardiff City on January 1.
