The former Tottenham and Everton midfielder was shown red in the second-half of Como's defeat at AC Milan for clipping the ankle of Rossonero ace Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Having not appeared on a pitch for two years, Alli only could see the bright side of things this morning.
He posted to social media: "2 years! Not necessarily how I planned it, but we keep moving."
He added: "I was always going to announce my return in some way after these past 2 years, would rather it had been with a goal but feels good to be back."
Alli also revealed a text exchange with former Chelsea midfielder Loftus-Cheek immediately after the game.
"Pic looks bad tho, I just tried to clip ur heel. When the ref went to var I didn't even know it was for me."
The former Chelsea midfielder responded: "Bro I had no clue. I stayed down coz I was blowing."
