'He's peed off' - Sean Dyche breaks silence on Dele Alli's latest injury setback as Everton grant ex-Tottenham star 'a break from coming in'

The ex-Tottenham midfielder has not played competitively since turning out for Besiktas in February 2023 during a loan spell away from Everton. Dele is currently a free agent, but is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-catch-22-holding-dele-alli-back-everton-terms-tottenham-deal-ex-england-international-world-cup-2026-motivational-message-injury/blt2e4cb8a2eba82d26" target="_blank">training with Everton in the hope of earning a new contract</a>, and Dyche has offered an update on the situation.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told reporters: "Dele has had a minor thing but he’s just taking a time out because obviously he’s had a few now and he’s just peed off with it. So, we’re just monitoring that at the minute. He’s abroad at the minute but working. It’s just a break from coming in, you know what it’s like, it grips you then, so we said: ‘Yeah, yeah, of course’."</p>

WHAT DYCHE SAID

<p>Dele's frustrations are no surprise given he has been out of action for so long and had been closing in on a comeback after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dele-alli-injury-ravaged-midfielder-back-on-grass-everton-former-tottenham-star-tries-earn-new-contract/blt9426cb37d804be35" target="_blank">returning to training on the grass with the Toffees in October</a>. His latest setback means there is still no end in sight to his injury nightmare and no clear timeframe for when he may be available for selection once more.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Dele has been warned <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/six-months-dele-alli-contract-warning-injury-setback-timeline-mapped-out-ex-tottenham-star-earn-new-deal-everton/blt6525412cd4ff48be#cs7ac423eb6f995dce" target="_blank">it could be six months until he's in a position to resume his professional career</a> and try to earn a new contract with Everton. In the meantime, Dyche's side will continue without the former England star and face a brutal fixture list ahead of the festive period with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City to follow Wednesday's meeting with Wolves.</p>
