    MK Dons midfielder Dele Alli will miss up to six weeks of the League One promotion race with an ankle injury.
    The 18-year-old has scored 14 times in 36 games for Karl Robinson's second-placed side this season.
    He will receive treatment at his parent club Tottenham, who he joined in January before returning to MK on loan until the end of the season.
    Alli was injured in last week's 1-0 win over Colchester United, and is unlikely to be available until late March.

    Whilst I don't wish any player an injury like this it will hopefully harm MK Dons chances of finishing in the top 2

    Cant see that Spurs would be too happy about that- Beats me why clubs would want to risk loaning players back

    Seems to be bending some rule or other when you sell a player and then immediately get them back on a so called loan. Still makes me ask why Matt Smith can't stay until the end of the season but there it is, we must not try and bend the rules - must we? Bah humbug.

    I echo your thought Angelic - don't want to see anyone injured - when we win the League 1 Championship we want to do it beating everyone properly

    Hope the lad recovers soon.

    Mike - it's a crazy rule - I can see why it's there, but surely it's not right when a lad ends up not playing games because of it

    Signing for three clubs in one season has always been not allowed. They used to phrase it you can only be signed once in a season. No rules to be bent.
    Selling a player and having him loaned back to you had been going on for years and years. If Spurs waited till the summer his value would of went up, so they struck a deal with MK to buy now at a rate that includes MK keeping him until season end. Probably the way Dele Ali was going MK could of lost a potential £1 million if other clubs turned it into an auction.
    Chelsea and Man U have been doing it for years, buying some one abroad but allowing the club to keep them. Wasn't Courtois loaned back for two years?
    Arsenal done it on Wallcot and Ox it's just a bit like vested interest. Arsenal made a killing on the other even though he wasn't playing for them.
