England Star Dele Alli Banned in Football Match- Check Why

Dele Alli has been given a one-game England ban after making an offensive gesture during his country ’s World Cup qualifier against Slovakia.

Alli was hit with the punishment and fined 5 ,000 Swiss francs ( £3 ,800 ) by world governing body FIFA following the incident in England ’s win at Wembley last month .
Television footage showed the Tottenham midfielder making a middle - finger salute shortly after a collision with Martin Skrtel.
But Alli claimed the gesture was aimed at England team -mate Kyle Walker rather than the officials or any Slovakia player .
FIFA ’s disciplinary committee accepted the 21 -year -old was not taunting referee Clement Turpin , but still handed out the suspension .
Alli is set to miss next Thursday ’s game against Slovenia at Wembley as England look to seal their place at next year ’s World Cup ,
He could return for the final group game in Lithuania on Sunday .
“Following the incident that occurred during the match between England and Slovakia on 4 September 2017. Dele Alli has been sanctioned with a suspension for one official match , and a fine of CHF 5 ,000 for making an offensive and unsporting gesture ,” a FIFA spokesman said .
“Although the Disciplinary Committee was not convinced that the player directed the gesture at the referee , and regardless of whether it was allegedly directed at a team -mate , it did consider such gesture to be offensive and unsporting and therefore it amounted to a violation of art. 57 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code .”
Prior to the suspension being announced , England manager Gareth Southgate said he hoped Alli would learn from his mistake.
“I ’ve had a good chat with Dele about a lot of different things but the biggest disappointment for him is to miss football ,” Southgate told the FA website .
“So the upshot of all of this is that he recognises the responsibility and it’s important for him and us that he’s available for games which he wants to play .
“He ’ s a young player , a young man and young people are going to make mistakes – old people make plenty of mistakes.
“For certain , he knows something like what happened that night won’t happen again .”
Do You Think He deserve it??
