Dele Alli to appear on Monday Night Football for Sky Sports after missing Everton's entire 2023-24 season so far through injury - as he speaks to media for first time since emotional Gary Neville interview

The England international has not featured for the Toffees all season due to ongoing fitness issues. His last competitive appearance came for Besiktas while on loan in the second half of last season before his spell in Turkey was cut short because of injury.

Sky Sports confirmed that the 28-year-old will be the special guest for Monday's programme as his Everton side travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the Premier League. It is the ex-Tottenham star's first appearance in the media since his touching interview with former Manchester United hero Gary Neville, in which he opened up about his childhood trauma and history with addiction.

The midfielder joined Everton from Spurs in 2022 but has managed just 13 appearances for the club. His hope of getting more game time for Sean Dyche's team was made more complicated as the Merseyside club tried to renegotiate their deal with Spurs to avoid having to pay £10 million after his 20th appearance.

The former MK Dons player will hope to see his team pick up a vital three points when they take on Chelsea on Monday. Sean Dyche's team are currently 16th in the league and four points clear of the relegation zone after 31 matches.
