LONDON - Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says Eric Dier will be selected against Burnley on Saturday after declaring the England midfielder has recovered from his astonishing row with a fan.
The 26-year-old tried to approach the fan who was allegedly abusing his brother before being led away from the incident, which is likely to trigger a Football Association probe. "Eric is 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," Mourinho told reporters on Friday."I would never do that . The player played so well. Nothing happened, nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be ashamed of.
"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."But, as professionals, sometimes we have to go through difficult situations. And we have to try to cope with it."
