The FA have reportedly launched an investigation into Tottenham Hotspur star Eric Dier's confrontation with a fan on Wednesday night, with the Englishman set to undergo a lengthy ban as punishment.
After the North London side's FA Cup clash with Norwich City, which resulted in the Canaries going through on penalties, the 26-year-old entered the stands as he feared for the safety of his younger brother.
According to The Mirror, the FA have now asked Dier's version of the events - and the Spurs player is understood to be philosophical about any potential ban or charge.
A source close to the defender has revealed that Dier went into the crowd to help his brother Patrick, 22, after witnessing him in confrontation with a fellow supporter.
The fan quickly left the scene, before Dier was removed by security.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has admitted that he doesn't want the English international to be punished. body check tags ::
