LONDON • Mauricio Pochettino could use Dele Alli as a "false nine" to address Tottenham's problems up front in light of striker Harry Kane's ankle injury.
Spurs travel to Fulham today and are expected to be without three forwards for their Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage.
Kane, who was voted England Player of the Year by fans on Friday, will be out until March, while Son Heung-min is playing for South Korea at the Asian Cup.
Pochettino will not be able to call on his top and second-highest scorers with 14 and eight league goals this season respectively, as well as midfielder Moussa Sissoko, who has a groin strain.
To compound matters further, forward Lucas Moura is unlikely to return from a knee problem, while back-up striker Fernando Llorente has not started a league game since Spurs beat Swansea a year ago.
Pochettino does not want Kane's absence to be seen as an excuse if the team do not perform today.
He said: "We have players who can cover his position. It won't affect our approach to games."
With Spurs unlikely to dip into the January market for a short-term fix, Pochettino has pin-pointed midfielder Alli as having the intelligence to fill in for Kane.
"You can play Dele Alli, (Erik) Lamela. It's not that you have to play with one specific striker," he said.

Queen probably learned from its Queen + Paul Rodgers-era that there isn't a big appetite for new Queen songs, especially ones without Mercury's voice. Lambert is surely aware of that — and of the fact that almost no one remembers The Cosmos Rocks album the group released in 2008.
