Tottenham defender Eric Dier remains "part of this team" despite missing their 2-2 draw at Brentford, says manager Ange Postecoglou.

"Eric is in the same boat as all the other boys," Postecoglou said.

"Eric is part of this team. He's working hard in training and is available for selection."

"We left a few out and we left some players on the bench that are very good players," Postecoglou added. "We need a strong squad, it's not about 11 players.

"My decisions then are what I think will give us the best chance of success for any given game and then we reassess the week after. There's nothing really unusual there."

Have to trust Ange with his decisions, even if they don't seem great to us.

Well he’s not gonna say anything different is he?

Think it’s best way to approach it, keep players feeling happy and like they’re gonna get a chance rather than alienating them, even if they are down pecking order in his mind.

Dier is not the present, let alone the future.
