Mourinho reacts after Eric Dier handed 4 match ban

Jose Mourinho says Tottenham are unlikely to appeal the four-match ban handed to Eric Dier for confronting a fan at a match in March.

Dier was handed the suspension and fined £40,000 after being charged with misconduct by the FA for climbing into the stands to confront a fan following Tottenham's FA Cup defeat to Norwich on March 4.

"I don't think so honestly because if you appeal you have other risks and let's at least start next season without a suspension," said Mourinho, ahead of Thursday's trip to Bournemouth - live on Sky Sports.

"We all know how it works with these FA decisions.

"You have access to the record of successful appeals and unsuccessful appeals… I don't think we are going to appeal."
