AS Monaco's Eric Dier struggles for consistent starting spot under Hütter
The 32-year-old England international has fallen down the pecking order at AS Monaco after injury setbacks and disappointing displays.
The England defender's time at AS Monaco has taken a disappointing turn since his promising start under Adi Hütter. Initially a regular in the Austrian manager's starting eleven at the beginning of the campaign, the 32-year-old centre-back has gradually seen his influence diminish.
A combination of injury problems and below-par performances has contributed to his slide down the defensive hierarchy at the Stade Louis II. The frustration is reportedly mutual, with both player and club feeling the weight of unfulfilled expectations.
Dier's situation highlights the competitive nature of Monaco's squad depth, where maintaining a starting position requires consistent high-level performances. The experienced defender will need to fight his way back into contention as the season progresses.
