- The Tottenham midfielder, 24, with Portuguese football manager and players
- Fans were distracted by a rather rude bulge in his tracksuit bottoms
- One joked that he seemed 'very happy' to catch up with his friends
- Commenters took to Twitter to poke fun with series of hilarious memes
A seemingly innocuous snap of footballer Eric Dier has sent social media into meltdown after fans spotted a rather rude looking protrusion in his tracksuit bottoms.
The Tottenham midfielder, 24, posted a snap with Sporting Clube de Portugal president Frederico Varandas and players Carlos Mané, Adrien Silva, Luís Nani to Instagram, catching fans' attention.
Eric, who grew up in Portugal and trained with Sporting described it as a snap with 'family', but followers were more interested in what appeared to be the outline of his manhood showing through his trousers.
'You look very happy to see them,' one joked.
It's not clear if the photo does indeed give away more than the footballer bargained for, of if it was just an optical illusion caused by a fold in the fabric of his tracksuit.

Commenters were quick to take to Twitter to poke fun at the snap, with one sharing a zoomed in version, saying: 'Holy mother of God'.
Another added sarcastically: 'I now get why Eric Dier isn't the quickest across the ground.'
An alarmed onlooker wanted to know: 'What on earth is that in Eric Dier's trousers?'.

The snap will no doubt leave Dier, who is known for his private persona, feeling a little red-faced.
He is dating product developer Maria Hansen who he met in Portugal just before signing for Spurs.
The pair are rarely spotted in public together, and when they are they tend to opt for more cultural dating spots.
In September 2017 they were at a David Yarrow private viewing at the Maddox Gallery in Westbourne Grove.

Dier previously told The Times that their relationship works because Maria is not interested in the WAG lifestyle.
'What is important for me, and for her, is that she has her own job and her own life,' he explained.
'She works really hard and is very driven. She doesn’t mind my fame. If I am asked for a photo when we are out and about, she makes sure I am nice.
'If I were not nice, I would probably get a slap across the back of my head.”
