Dele Alli made his long-awaited return to football but in dramatic fashion—getting sent off just 10 minutes into his Como debut against AC Milan.
The former Tottenham midfielder, who last played in February 2023 for Besiktas, was introduced as a substitute but received a straight red card after a challenge on Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Dele Breaks Silence on Red Card
Reacting to the incident, Dele took to Instagram:
“I was always going to announce my return in some way after these past 2 years, would rather it had been with a goal. But feels good to be back!”
What’s Next for Dele?
Dele will miss Como’s next match against Empoli due to suspension, as Cesc Fabregas’ side sit 13th in Serie A.
Tough return, but good to see him back! 👏⚽
