Wasn't sure where to post this but would thought I'd put it in here and injury thread with regards to our injury situation.

Interesting read, excerpts below:
Alli was forced out of Sunday’s win at Craven Cottage, but the origins of his injury can be traced back to the fly-infested Volgograd Arena on June 18. The midfielder suffered a thigh strain in England’s World Cup opener against Tunisia and, although he sat out the two remaining group games, he returned two weeks later for the second-round match against Colombia.
He has now suffered three hamstring strains since September, having never previously had more than one injury per season since turning professional. By the start of March, he will likely have missed 20 games.
While there has been no suggestion that England mismanaged the 22-year-old, his workload in Russia has surely been a factor in a stop-start season — and he is not the only one at Spurs.
Of the club’s 12 World Cup representatives, 10 have suffered serious injuries this term, with Hugo Lloris, Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen, Kieran Trippier, Danny Rose, Eric Dier, Christian Eriksen, Mousa Dembele and Kane the others.
Only Toby Alderweireld and Son have avoided a spell on the sidelines, although the South Korean confessed to being exhausted after returning from the Asian Games in August. In short, no European club’s season has been more disrupted by the World Cup.
Poch is a miracle worker, and in my opinion, the "best pound for pound" manager in the division. Making top 4 with the injuries, no players bought for 12 months, would possibly be his most notable achievement with the club thus far.
