Alli out of Barcelona clash

Tottenham's injury list is growing heading into a crunch Champions League clash, with Mauricio Pochettino waiting on important fitness updates

Dele Alli will miss Tottenham's Champions League clash with Barcelona but Mauricio Pochettino will wait for assessments on Jan Vertonghen and Mousa Dembele.

The Belgium duo were replaced by Harry Winks and Victor Wanyama at half-time in Spurs' 2-0 win at Huddersfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Alli, Hugo Lloris and Christian Eriksen missed the trip to Yorkshire due to injury and Vertonghen and Dembele could also be doubts to face Barca at Wembley.

Pochettino confirmed Alli has a hamstring injury and will not be available for Wednesday's match against the Spanish champions, but he has faith in his alternative options.

"We need a squad, 24 players able to play," Pochettino told a news conference.

"I get upset sometimes at questions about players who are ready because we need all these players.

"What if we didn't have Harry Winks or Wanyama ready to come in today to play?"

He added on Vertonghen and Dembele: "We need to assess tomorrow and after tomorrow, we'll see. I cannot say whether they'll be available for Wednesday. I don't know."
