Nuno Espirito Santo chose to keep his cards close to his chest when asked whether Dele Alli and Harry Winks will be involved against Manchester United after the pair’s exclusion against Burnley on Wednesday.
Winks has struggled to force himself into the Tottenham team, having started just one Premier League game so far this campaign.
The midfielder has been linked with a move away from Spurs in January and he admitted last week that he will have a conversation with Nuno about his future when the time is right.
In contrast, Alli had a good start to the season and was a regular in Nuno’s starting eleven for the first several weeks.
However, the 25-year-old has now fallen down the pecking order, having not played a single minute in the league since Tottenham’s 3-1 loss at the Emirates last month.
Both Winks and Alli were part of the eleven that were beaten 1-0 by Vitesse Arnhem in the Europa Conference League last week and neither of them was included in the matchday squad for the trip to Turf Moor.
When asked whether Alli and Winks could be involved against United on Saturday, Nuno said in his post-match conference following his side’s 1-0 win over the Clarets (via Football.London): “We are going to travel.
“We have a training session tomorrow and we will assess all the players like we always do.
“They are our players so anything is possible, this is my answer.”
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that neither Winks nor Alli made the bench against Burnley despite teams being allowed to name nine substitutes, shows how far down the pecking order both players have fallen. It is quite difficult to see a way back for either of them at Spurs.
