Euro2016: Tottenham midfielder Dier fell ill in warm-up ahead of Iceland defeat

Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier fell ill in the warm-up to England's 2-1 defeat to Iceland in Euro2016, according to reports.

A report in the Daily Express claims that the 22-year-old informed the England medical staff of his illness during the warm-up, but Roy Hodgson and his backroom staff decided to stick with him for the Round of 16 game.

Dierwas eventually replaced by Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere at the half-time of the humiliating loss as the Three Lions crashed out of the Euros to the Nordic minnows.
