Spurs fans have been reacting to the news that Dele Alli is awaiting a verdict from the FA about a possible ban.
The 23-year-old has been investigated by the FA after mocking coronavirus in a video on Snapchat earlier this month and could face a ban for discrimination. According to Standard Sport (via Daily Hotspur), the FA are still deciding whether to charge the Spurs midfielder with discrimination, which could lead to a match ban.
The former MK Dons man has struggled for form recently and was dropped to the bench for Spurs’ game against Chelsea at the weekend, but it will be a blow for Jose Mourinho’s already depleted squad if he were to lose Alli through a ban. The England international is Spurs’ current top scorer when you exclude the injured Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, having scored eight goals in all competitions so far this season.
Does Alli deserve a ban?

Considering our recent performances Alli will be hoping he gets banned.

Who cares hes playing rubbish anyway.

These Spurs fans don’t seem too concerned with Alli potentially missing some games through a ban and feel that he will deserve any punishment the FA deems fit.
What do we think?
Although the 23-year-old has since apologised for his video, it was a really stupid thing to do and you feel that he deserves any punishment he might get from the FA.
