Eric Dier is an injury doubt for England’s clash with Denmark on Wednesday night — news that is sure to irritate Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho.
Sportsmail understands the Spurs defender, who completed the full 90 minutes on Sunday as England beat Belgium 2-1, is nursing a minor hamstring problem.
Wolves defender Conor Coady is on standby to replace Dier in the heart of England’s back three if he cannot prove his fitness to boss Southgate.
The injury will sound alarm bells at Tottenham, after Harry Kane was introduced as a second-half substitute during the win over Belgium despite apparently being short of fitness.
