Dele Alli was caught sticking up his middle finger in England’s 2-1 win against Slovakia

But Tottenham star Dele appeared to aim an obscene gesture towards French ref Clement Turpin.
The 21-year-old claimed his middle-finger salute was directed at former Spurs team-mate Kyle Walker but Fifa could still take retrospective action.
“Just to clarify,” Dele wrote on Twitter, “the gesture tonight was a joke between me and my good friend Kyle Walker! Apologies for any offence caused! Great win 2nite.”
England boss Gareth Southgate insisted: “I’ve not seen it but I’ve been made aware of it. Kyle and Dele were mucking about — and Dele’s made a gesture towards Kyle. I don’t know what the angle picked up by the camera is, so I don’t know if that is clear.
“The pair of them have a strange way of communicating but that’s what they’ve said when it’s been raised.”
Football’s governing body are tough on any abuse directed at match officials — and any suspension will NOT include any pre-World Cup friendlies.
