EPL: Tottenham's Dele Alli to miss six weeks with hamstring injury

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli is set to be sidelined until early March due to a hamstring injury.

The England international will join his teammate Harry Kane on Spurs' injury list and he is expected to return to action in around six weeks.

Medical tests confirmed the muscular damage that he picked up in his team's 2-1 away win on Sunday against Fulham. Dele will now undergo a period of rehabilitation with club medical staff, with the expectation of returning to training at least in early March.

Alli is expected to miss Tottenham's games against Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League.
