I don't expect Dele Alli to be happy sitting on the bench - Mourinho says

Share This
Jose Mourinho admitted that Dele Alli is "not a happy player" as he's been restricted to bench roles. 
The English international expressed his frustration after the Tottenham star left the bench during a Europa League win over Antwerp.


Tottenham secured top spot in Group J by earning a 2-0 home win over Antwerp on Thursday night.

Benfica loanee Carlos Vinicius opened the scoring just before the hour mark for the hosts and Giovani Lo Celso doubled Spurs' advantage in the 71st minute. 


Alli was seen storming down the tunnel after Mourinho made his final change. 

"Let's not run away from reality," Mourinho told reporters of Alli post-match. "A player on the bench who realises all five subs have been used of course is not a happy player and I would not expect him to be happy."

Harry Winks also appeared to head to the changing rooms in a sulk after coming off for Tanguy Ndombele on 59 minutes, but Mourinho says he instructed the midfielder to go inside for warmth.

"I told him to go, I told every player that left the pitch to go because when the weather is cold I prefer they go to the dressing room and have a shower," he said. "I told them to go, some prefer to stay.

"Winks decided to go and I am happy with that because I am the one that told him to do it."
