FIFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Dele Alli after England's last game.

Alli was at the centre of attention again this week, following yet another controversial on-field incident while playing for his country.

Following a brief stoppage in play the midfielder flipped the middle finger to his team-mate Kyle Walker, in a gesture which initially appeared to be aimed at the referee.

A spokesperson: 'We can confirm that disciplinary proceedings have been opened following this incident. Please understand we cannot comment further at this stage.'
