Tottenham are still waiting to find out if Dele Alli and Eric Dier will be banned for the resumption of the Premier League season after being charged by the FA prior to football’s suspension. 

According to The Sun (as relayed by @Daily_Hotspur), Alli faces a potential three-match-ban for misconduct after mocking an Asian man on Snapchat. The disciplinary panel is yet to rule on his case, despite the fact that he was charged three months ago.

Meanwhile, Dier was charged with improper and threatening conduct, having jumped into the crowd to confront a fan during the team’s FA Cup defeat to Norwich City. He was hit with a charge back in April and could also face a suspension if he is found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute.

The Sun’s senior reporter Duncan Wright revealed that the panel is set to convene over a video conference due to the unprecedented circumstances. If the players are adjudged to have broken the rules, they will miss several games when football resumes later this month.

However, this may give Jose Mourinho the opportunity to try out other members of the squad instead. One fan certainly seems to think so, as he tweeted that it “will be doing us a favour” in response to the latest update on Alli and Dier. Another disagreed, incredulously commenting “seriously” when the news broke, given the fact it has taken so long.

Have a read through some of the mixed reactions from Spurs fans…
