Besiktas manager Senol Gunes has claimed he hasn't been able to contact Dele Alli after he granted the ex-Tottenham star a 'small break' from football. Although Dele has now moved to say his absence was sanctioned by the club.
The 26-year-old has endured a torrid time in Turkey since his move from Everton last summer, scoring just twice in 13 Super Lig appearances. It was reported on March 16 that Dele had been banished from the Besitkas squad, having last featured for the club back in February.
Dele has made just four starts under Gunes since he succeeded Valerian Ismail as the new boss in October. Reports in Turkey suggest that Dele may never play for Besiktas again and the former MK Dons midfielder is expected to watch the remainder of their games this season from the stands.
