Tottenham could face a big dilemma over the future of Eric Dier, with the defensive player starting both of Spurs’ games post-lockdown.

Mourinho unhappy over Spurs’ fixtures
Mourinho has expressed his unhappiness with Tottenham’s fixture congestion between now and the end of the season.

Robinson expects Ndombele exit
Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Tanguy Ndombele will leave the club this summer.
Ndombele became Spurs’ record-signing last summer but has failed to catch the eye in his first season at the north London club.
Robinson told Football Insider: “If he stays, it appears he will only be a bit-part and a squad player.
“Spurs have been quite public about how the current financial situation has hit them as a club. Ndombele could be a player that Mourinho disposes of to raise money and strengthen elsewhere.”
