From Injuries to the World Cup: Everton’s Dele Alli Determined to Make a Comeback
After being sidelined with injuries for over a year, Everton midfielder Dele Alli is determined to make a comeback next season. Alli, who last played in February 2023, has openly spoken about his struggles with mental health and childhood abuse. Despite his setbacks, the 28-year-old is focused on returning to action and eventually representing England in the 2026 World Cup.
Alli expressed his disappointment at being unable to play football for an extended period during an interview after Everton’s heavy defeat to Chelsea. He remains determined to prove his worth and reach his full potential as a player. Alli has set his sights on the World Cup in 2026 and is committed to working hard to achieve his goal, despite not having played for an extended period.
Despite transferring from Tottenham Hotspur to Everton in 2022, Alli has faced challenges in finding his form at the Merseyside club. A loan spell at Besiktas also did not yield the desired results. However, Alli remains optimistic about his future in football and is determined to overcome his injury issues. With his contract at Everton set to expire this summer, Alli is focused on recovering from his injuries and getting back on the field.
Alli’s ultimate goal is to represent England at the 2026 World Cup. He acknowledges the doubts surrounding his ability to make a strong comeback after a year out, but he is determined to prove his critics wrong. With a strong mindset and a clear focus on his recovery, Alli is determined to put his injury troubles behind him and make a successful return to the game.
In their next game against Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park, Everton will be looking to bounce back from their defeat
