Tottenham will be without the services of English midfielder Eric Dier after the midfielder had surgery to remove his appendix.
A release from the club claimed the 24-year-old would now be in rehab and is expected to return to training in January.

The Englishman is the latest Tottenham player to pick up an injury, with Mousa Dembele already recovering from a problem.
Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Hugo Lloris, Kieran Trippier, Dele Alli and Danny Rose have all faced time away from the side with injuries this season.
Dier had been in decent touch in recent games and several Tottenham fans wished the Englishman a speedy recovery.
Blimey. Wishing you a speedy recovery, @ericdier #COYS
