'Create it' - Dele Alli posts Instagram update as ex-Tottenham star steps up injury recovery on road to football redemption

The former England star's last competitive appearance came during a loan spell for Besiktas back in February 2023. The midfielder has struggled with injury since then but had been hoping to make his long-awaited comeback in the 2024-25 season. However, those hopes took another hit as Dele suffered a setback with his hamstring in training last month.

The fresh injury setback could keep Dele out of action for the next six months, as per former Everton scout Bryan King, who told Goodison News that the midfielder is unlikely to play senior minutes until the summer. However, the 28-year-old took to Instagram to share an update on his condition, posting images from workout sessions.

On Instagram, Dele wrote: "Create it." He also shared an anime image with a motivational quote which read: "The life you want isn't out there. It's within you, watching for you to create it."

Dele is currently a free agent after his contract with the Toffees expired at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. However, he continued to train with the club in the hope of landing a fresh deal, but his latest injury could prove to be a major hindrance in reviving his career in the English top flight.
