English midfielder with Nigerian heritage, Dele Alli, is on the brink of reviving his football career with Italian club Como 1907.
Alli, who has been sidelined since February 2023 due to injuries and personal challenges, was recently included in Como’s matchday squad for their Serie A fixture against AS Roma, marking a significant step towards his return to professional football.
In January 2025, Como 1907 announced Alli’s signing on an 18-month contract, with an option to extend for an additional year.
The club emphasized providing a supportive environment for Alli to reintegrate into professional football, without immediate performance pressures.
Head Coach Cesc Fàbregas expressed optimism about Alli’s potential contributions, both on the field and as a mentor to younger players.
Alli’s inclusion in the squad for the match against Roma, where he was assigned the number 8 jersey, was met with enthusiasm from fans and the club alike.
Although he did not feature in the game, his presence on the bench signifies progress in his journey back to competitive play.
Throughout his career, Alli has faced personal adversities, including injuries and mental health struggles.
His openness about these challenges has shed light on the pressures athletes endure and underscores the importance of mental well-being in sports.
As Como prepare for their upcoming match against Venezia, anticipation builds around Alli’s potential debut.
