He'll be fine, stepping in for Vertonghen.
Looked comfortable today when he came on and he certainly looks no worse than Vertonghen.
From what I've seen on him so far, there's an argument to be made that he's a little better?...

dude, you and me could hold off the Palace attack at the moment.
Bullshit thats what, what ever happened to players being tapped up? Any mention of a footballer afew years ago that didnt belong to your club you would have a hefty fine, where is that gone?

Are you implying that Vertonghen has been ..not great? Imo he has been every bit as good as Lloris, Alderweireld and Dier defensively this season.
No not at all, mate.
Just saying that I've been impressed with Wimmer whenever I've seen him and, from his appearances this season, rate him just as much as I do Vertonghen.
His first game with us this season he was a massive ball watcher. He's been solid when called in since.
Well looks like it's time for a run in the team, lets see if this #ITK that Wimmer was the best CB in training was true.
I think Pochettino likes his CBs in pairs, and Wimmer's suffered due to a lack of a decent partner for him. Vertonghen and Alderweireld have been playing together since childhood, so they're an ideal match, and we don't yet have anyone able to do that with Kevin. Hopefully CCV will be that in future, and then we've got two pairs of CBs, nicely spaced in age too (Toby and Jan in their peak years, Kevin and CCV quite young and the long-term future).
I think Toby will have to lead the back 4 even more than usual with Jan out on the sidelines. However, I do think Wimmer is more than capable.
From what I've seen of him he's a big strong lad who reads the game well. Although he's untested in the Premier League, with Lloris, Rose, Toby either side of him there's plenty of experience to guide him through games.

And Dier in front of him...
Trippier and Davies took a couple of games to get going and where carried but have both since been very much up to scratch when called upon, I imagine the same will take place with Wimmer.
He isn't flimsy, he's got 6kg on Vertonghen and I doubt he's as slow as Fazio. As long as he can get the ball to Alderwierled for those diagonals for Kane and Alli then we should be fine.
