Alli Return Softens Mason Blow
Mason has been a vital contributor for Spurs during the 2015-16 season, appearing in six matches for the north London club in November, per WhoScored.com. While he's not an automatic starter, his versatility makes him a valuable player in Pochettino's squad.

Alli would likely have been first-choice had both been available, but Pochettino would prefer to have both options as Spurs head toward the busy Christmas period.
