# Tottenham Hotspur: These Spurs fans think international snub will make Dele Alli hungrier to return to form

**It seemed fairly inevitable that Dele Alli was going to be omitted from Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the November international break.**

> [#thfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/thfc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) midfielder Dele Alli has not been included in the latest [@England](https://twitter.com/England?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) squad.

The Tottenham midfielder was left off the Three Lions squad list for their upcoming fixtures against Montenegro and Kosovo this month ([per the FA’s official website](https://www.thefa.com/news/2019/nov/07/england-squad-named-for-montenegro-and-kosovo-071119)), with England on the verge of qualifying for Euro 2020 after claiming a 6-0 win against Bulgaria in the last slate of international games ([per BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49955900)).

Yet despite being left out of the England squad, Tottenham fans on social media believe that this could be the best thing that could happen to Alli after a frustrating start to the season for the Spurs midfielder, with stats from [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dele-alli/leistungsdaten/spieler/207929) showing that the 23-year-old has only managed two goals in all competitions this campaign.

Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say about Alli’s international snub on Twitter, with a few supporters convinced this setback will encourage the former MK Dons ace to regain his form…
