Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has hinted Eric Dier could start today at Wolves.

The two teams meet in the early kickoff on Saturday.

On Dier, Postecoglou said he never considered freezing out the defender: "I don't feel the need… irrespective of a player's individual situation and they're all in different situations, unless a player expressly says to me or desires he wants to leave and I know his head space is somewhere else, I don't see any reason to separate him from the group because they're part of our football club.

"Eric has been part of this football club for a very long time. Every day he's another one who has trained hard, he hasn't had a lot of opportunities but that's because we've been pretty settled in terms of our back four and we haven't had the need to put him in there.

"He's always been ready to be called up. Now he gets the opportunity. I thought he did well the other night. It was a hard game to come into. Firstly, he's come on with ten men and then he's playing with nine men. As a defender, you know there are going to be some challenges there.

"I thought he handled it really well. His experience will be important for us, particularly with Micky's absence and Romero being out for three games. His experience will be important to us."
