Now 28, Alli appears to be in a better mental state and recently appeared on Sky’s Monday Night Football, expressing his determination to return to the top level following a long-term injury. He remains optimistic about regaining the form that previously established him as one of Europe’s top young midfielders.
Alli is focused on his goal of participating in the World Cup in 2026 and has set reminders on his phone to keep him motivated. He is currently prioritizing his recovery from injury and aims to ensure that he is in optimal condition after the summer.
