Debut for 20-year-old: Three ways Tottenham can line-up in defence v Newcastle after injury update
4-2-3-1: Makeshift right-back
When he was signed from Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon, Dier was used as a right-back by Pochettino before reverting into central defence and holding midfield.
Trippier’s injury and the sale of Kyle Walker to Manchester City could see him revert to that position against Newcastle and potentially against Chelsea.
The England international is a proven performer in England’s top flight in that position and is more than capable in filling in.
