Dele Alli has taken a significant step towards fully recovering from a hamstring injury after starting ball work during his warm weather training camp in Dubai.

The midfielder has handed Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino a key boost by completing football drills this week in the UAE.

Alli suffered the injury against Fulham last month and it was initially feared he would not return to full training until the start of March.
