Jose Mourinho has plenty of comfort for Dele Alli and others who are having limited chances at Tottenham Hotspur. The head coach reflected that the "life of a big club" means difficult decisions are necessary. Alli has started just two of Tottenham's 11 fixtures this season and, not for the first time in recent weeks. Mourinho insists Alli plus the likes of Davinson Sanchez and Harry Winks, unused substitutes at Turf Moor, will be given opportunities with the trio set to come into the charge for the Europa League trip to Antwerp on Thursday. "I feel very bad we did," Mourinho said, when asked whether Alli's omission was because Tottenham have an overabundance of attackers. I feel even sad every time I have to write a list of players selected for a game. It's not just about Dele. "If the players understand that on Thursday we have another match and that some people that didn't play here, they are going to play on Thursday and vice-versa. This is the life of a big club. This is the life that I know from my time at Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Chelsea. The boys have to be ready."
