Dele Alli has denied reports he went AWOL from Besiktas training following a sanctioned break.
Alli joined the Istanbul giants on loan from Everton this season, but things haven’t gone to plan.

After scoring a crucial goal in a 3-2 win over Ankaragucu in his second game, Alli’s impact and minutes quickly dwindled.
His last appearance for the Turkish side was on February 26, while his last start and goal came in January.
There have since been reports that Besiktas manager Senol Gunes has banished Alli from his squad, and forced him to watch the remainder of the season from the stands.
On Wednesday, Gunes was then quoted saying that Alli failed to report for duty after being given permission to go on a break.
These suggestions have been denied by the former Tottenham man, who said to fans: “Hey guys just had loads of messages so wanted to clear something up.
“The club gave me permission to attend a doctor’s appointment today. I’m due back in training tomorrow [Thursday] as normal.”

Last week, Alli was pictured in London when he appeared on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram story, posing with her son during their European ‘soccer trip’.
