    Eric Dier sends social media into meltdown with snap of huge ‘bulge’

    Adopted from: mirror.co.uk
    Published: 8 November 2018

    England and Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier has sent social media into meltdown after posing with Sporting Lisbon players.

    The Portuguese side are in London for their Europa League clash with Arsenal on Thursday night.

    Ahead of the match, Dier – who came through the ranks at Sporting – posted a photo alongside Nani, Carlos Mane, Leicester’s Adrien Silva and Sporting president Frederico Varandas.

    Dier was wearing a Nike tracksuit and fans spotted a rather rude-shaped protrusion in his bottoms.

    It is unclear if the photo was simply an illusion caused by the tracksuit – or if Dier had given away a bit too much.

    Dier was not involved in Tottenham’s comeback victory over PSV in the Champions League earlier this week.

    Spurs looked to be on the brink of elimination before Harry Kane’s dramatic double secured the victory.

    Dier was back in training on Thursday though as he stepped up his recovery from a knee injury.

    Spurs confirmed the midfielder and Victor Wanyama were in contention to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

    The midfielder was also named in England’s squad for their upcoming matches with USA and Croatia.

    Dier is one of five Spurs players included, alongside Kane, Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier and Harry Winks.
