DELE ALLI is set to return to Everton today after picking up an injury on loan at Besiktas.
The midfielder joined the Turkish outfit last summer but has struggled to make an impact, scoring two goals in 13 league games.
Dele Alli has returned to the UK for a review of his injury
He has not made an appearance since February 26 and his future at the club looks in doubt.
Dele has suffered an injury that requires consultation with a specialist in the UK, which is why he has flown in from Turkey.
It is the latest setback for the former England star, who has fallen out of favour under manager Şenol Güneş.
The Besiktas boss even accused the former Tottenham player of going AWOL following a meeting with Kim Kardashian.
He said: “Dele Alli, whom we have allowed [a break], has not come yet. It must be raining, we are trying to get news.”
Dele, 26, had his picture taken with Kim’s seven-year-old son Saint, the morning after she had taken her boy to watch Arsenal’s Europa League defeat to Sporting Lisbon at Emirates Stadium.
Dele tried to clarify the situation regarding his absence on Instagram this evening and said Besiktas had allowed him to visit the doctor.
He wrote: “Hey guys, just had loads of messages so wanted to clear something up.
“The club gave me permission to attend a doctor’s appointment today. I’m due back in training tomorrow as normal.”
However he has reportedly been banished from the matchday squad and forced to watch the rest of the season from the stands.
Dele has struggled in recent months, and was booed off the pitch by Besiktas fans in December.
