Como president Mirwan Suwarso has voiced his support for Dele Alli after the midfielder was sent off with a red card in their 2-1 Serie A loss to AC Milan on Saturday.
Suwarso defended the 28-year-old on Instagram, saying, “The fire still burns. After nearly two years, Dele Alli stepped back onto the battlefield. It takes courage to fight through doubt, silence the noise, and return to compete at the highest level.
”
He emphasized that despite the red card, they saw “hunger, resilience, and flashes of brilliance” from Alli. Suwarso added, “This is only the beginning.
The road back is never easy, but warriors don’t quit. Keep going, Dele. Your best is yet to come.”
The match marked Dele’s first senior appearance in two years, but he was sent off in less than 10 minutes after a VAR review. He will miss Como’s next three games, including their match against Empoli after the international break.
