"I am pleased to be back". Alli reflects on his sending off in his first match in two years

Former Everton and Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli played his first match in two years on March 15, taking the field in Como's game against Milan. Ultimately, the Englishman spent just over ten minutes on the pitch, receiving a straight red card. However, Alli considers even this to be an accomplishment.

Details: The midfielder stated on his social media that he was looking for a reason to announce his return. Ideally, he wanted it to be a goal, but he is pleased to be back on the pitch nonetheless.

Quote: "I always intended to announce my return in some way after these two years. I would have preferred it to be with a goal, but I am pleased to be back."

Reminder: In the Serie A match against Milan (1-2), Fabregas fielded the Englishman for the first time after a 735-day hiatus. The player appeared in the 81st minute of the match, but just ten minutes later he received a straight red card for a foul on Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
