DELE ALLI has returned to Besiktas training after being accused of going AWOL by his boss.
The former Tottenham star was reportedly banished from the Turkish side's playing squad, but he denied that was the case.

In his post, he said he would be back in training and true to his word, he was.
The AWOL accusations came after he met Kim Kardashian last Friday.
Dele had his picture taken with Kim's seven-year-old son Saint, the morning after she had taken her boy to watch Arsenal's Europa League defeat by Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates.

Dele left Spurs for Everton in January 2022 and is still on the Goodison payroll.
He helped the Toffees survive the drop last season, before being ditched by Frank Lampard's side in August after two sub appearances.
