Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier is hoping to be named in the England squad for the Nations League after recovering from a series of injuries.
After an impressive start to the season Dier suffered a number of setbacks, including being sidelined three times through illness and injury between December and April.
“It’s been a very frustrating four of five months since my operation but this is football, these things happen,” he said.
“I look at it two ways because I think I’ve been very lucky to have had four seasons here at Tottenham with no injuries and always being available to play.
“I feel very good and now I’m just trying to look forward to help the team win in whatever way I can and to try and finish the season as strongly as possible [in the Champions League final]. Hopefully I’ll be available for the national team after that.”
Gareth Southgate will name his squad for the Nations League on Thursday and Dier, who has 39 caps and three goals for England since making his debut in 2015, is hoping to put his recent misfortunes in the past.
