Eric Dier is a doubt for Tottenham Hotspur’s return to domestic duty on Sunday.
Spurs host West Ham United in North London in what is poised to be Gareth Bale’s second debut after re-signing on loan from Real Madrid.
But one player who might not be available for Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is centre-back Dier.
The England international has been left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad tonight with a hamstring issue that plunges his participation against the Hammers into some doubt.
Mourinho’s a big fan of the 26-year-old, who has played every minute in the Premier League for the Lilywhites this season.
Here’s how some supporters reacted to this news:
Mourinho will now be sweating on Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld returning from Colombia and Belgium duty without any knock.
Japhet Tanganga had fought his way back to full fitness prior to the international break, having missed all of Project Restart, but another injury prevented him from reporting for England Under-21 duty.
