Dele Alli's time at Besiktas continues to spiral downwards, with the former Spurs man reportedly told to watch the rest of the season from the stands.
Alli joined the Turkish Super Lig outfit on loan from Everton in the summer in a bid to get his career back on track after just one start for the Merseysiders.
He had a positive debut and and opened his account for Besiktas in just his second game for the club.
The 26-year-old has made 15 appearances but has not featured since he was taken off at half-time in a rare start against Antalyaspor last month.

The former Spurs and MK Dons man was not even in the squad for fixtures against Ankaragucu and Istanbul Basaksehir of late and Turkish outlet Takvim say manager Senol Gunes has completely banished him for the remainder of the campaign.
Gunes made his thoughts clear on the England international straight from the off when he laid into him just a week into taking the Besiktas job.
He brutally commented, "Let's not discuss Dele Alli as a player, but he is below expectations in terms of efficiency."
Gunes would later say that Alli "doesn't deserve to play" when asked why he was left out of the squad for a defeat to Ankaragucu.
The two-time PFA Young Player of the Year has even been booed by his own supporters when substituted in the 28th minute of a cup game against third tier Sanliurfaspor.
He was then on the bench on Christmas day and when he scored his second goal for the club against Alanyaspor, he proceeded to perform a shush celebration and also put his fingers to his ears.
Alli is not expected to play another game for Besiktas, who are unlikely to purchase him permanently despite having the option for £6.9 million.
He now looks set to return to Everton, who signed him on a free transfer but with the potential to pay £40 million for his services if performance-related bonuses were met.
