Alli was caught sticking his middle finger up during the national side’s World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Monday.
He said after the match the gesture had been directed as a joke at teammate Kyle Walker.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, speaking on Thursday, had played down the incident.
“It’s true it’s not a fantastic gesture but it’s not a big issue. It was a joke in a moment with his teammate. I don’t think it’ll be a big issue with FIFA or with us.”
Alli, 21, has had a number of run-ins with the football authorities and has faced calls to curb his fiery temperament.
