Seing more playing time Dier has seen more playing time lately, starting four of the last six possible games and playing 90 minutes in each of those starts.

Impact Dier started the season as a bench option but has played more frequently as a starter lately due to Kim Min-Jae's Achilles injury and the trust coach Vincent Kompany has in his qualities. He recorded eight tackles, seven interceptions, and 23 clearances in his last five appearances across all competitions but helped his team secure only one clean sheet in that span. He should remain a starter in central defense until the South Korean returns from injury.

Option off bench Dier (illness) is on the bench for Friday's clash with Werder Bremen.

Impact Dier is back on the bench for Friday's clash after an illness held him out against Bratislava. Unsurprisingly the illness wasn't a major issue and only cost the defender about a week. He's now fit as a depth option once more.

Impact Dier has picked up an illness this week, leaving him questionable for their final UCL league stage match. This will likely force the defender into a fitness test ahead of the match, with that deciding his availability. He did start in their last outing, and with limited options they will hope he is fit enough to play, otherwise, they will have to hope Dayot Upamecano (strain) is healthy.

Assists in start Dier assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over SC Freiburg.

Impact Dier earned his first start since Jan 15, assisting his first goal of the season during the win Saturday. He's fallen out of favor since Vincent Kompany took over as skipper, starting just four times in nine league appearances, having been an unused sub 10 times this campaign.

Impact Eric Dier has been a huge signing for Bayern Munich, having an instant impact on the back line.

Starting against Real Madrid Dier (laceration) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Dier is back with the team Wednesday, as expected, returning to the starting XI after an early exit over the weekend due to a cut he received on his forehead. He has now only missed one start since Feb. 24 and should be expected to remain in the starting role moving forward, serving alongside the newly healthy Matthijs De Ligt.

On squad list for Wednesday Dier (laceration) has been listed on the squad list for Wednesday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Dier looks to have put his injury concerns behind him after taking a blow to the head over the weekend, as he was named to the squad list and was spotted wearing a bandage on his head. This is great news for the club, as he has been a regular starter this season. He will likely immediately enter the starting XI to face Real Madrid, serving alongside either Matthijs De Ligt or Kim Min-Jae.

Starts once more Dier had one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Lazio.

Impact Dier got the start and kept a crucial clean sheet during Tuesday's win. The center-back has stepped into a surprisingly large role in the back line due to injuries, suspensions, and international duty for Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-Jae. When everyone is available Dier will likely be on the bench, but he has reportedly done enough to have his loan made permanent in the coming months.

Loaned to Munich Dier completed a loan move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham, with an option to make the deal permanent.

Impact Dier is on the move to Bavaria despite manager Ange Postecoglou repeatedly insisting he wasn't being transferred and was simply injured. It's not clear if this will turn into a permanent move but Dier should be a nice depth option for Munich, even if he has fallen out of favor in North London. Dier has made just four appearances (one start) this season.
