Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho insists Eric Dier is mentally okay to play against Burnley.

The Mirror says the midfielder is part of a Metropolitan Police investigation after he climbed into the stands to confront a fan in the aftermath of Spurs going out of the FA Cup to Norwich on Wednesday night.

Football Association and club investigations have been put on hold while the police probe the incident which saw Dier approach a supporter who was allegedly abusing his brother.

Mourinho said: "What about Eric being in the right frame of mind to play tomorrow, of course. The only thing that matters is: first of all, that nothing really big happened.

"And secondly he played so, so well in the last two matches. That of course he is going to play. I would never do that (rest him). The player played so well.

"Nothing happened, nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be ashamed of. The football world is behind, and understands completely the circumstances. Nothing. Of course he's right to play."

The manager also said: "I look at myself and I am of course much older than Eric, and of course I have much more years in football than Eric.

"And as you know, I was born a footballer's son, and I grew up as a football manager, and the only thing that I can say is that: if I see something happening with my son, I would do the same.

"I wouldn't think two seconds about doing the same. So, that's why I said I would do the same.

"But, as professionals, sometimes we have to go through difficult situations. And we have to try to cope with it. And be a little bit lucky, that not happen the same that happened with Eric."
