Eric Dier Out of England Euro 2020 Qualifier vs. Montenegro with Muscle Injury

England will be without Eric Dier for Monday's UEFA European Championship qualifier against Montenegro due to injury.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder hobbled out of the team's 5-0 win over the Czech Republic on Friday in the first half and was replaced by Ross Barkley.

After the game, it was confirmed Dier would not be fit in time for England's second match in Group A, per BBC Radio 5 live's Ian Dennis:

Eric Dier ruled out of Montenegro with injury so returning to Tottenham. Unlikely for Gareth Southgate to add a replacement unless further injuries.
