HUDDERSFIELD: Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has been ruled out of Wednesday’s Champions League group-stage match with Barcelona at Wembley, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Saturday. Alli, who suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month, missed the 2-0 victory at Huddersfield, and Pochettino said there was no chance of the England international facing the Spanish side. The midfielder suffered the injury during England’s Nations League defeat to Spain earlier this month and missed the matches with Liverpool and Inter Milan. Although he was back again as a substitute against Brighton last weekend and scored in the League Cup against Watford on Wednesday, he has suffered an aggravation of the injury.
