Dyer went further than just defending family ties, suggesting that Tuchel’s side will find life difficult in North America without the directness and work rate of the Hammers talisman. England have looked far from convincing in recent outings, and the actor believes the lack of Bowen’s presence could lead to an early exit for the national team.
“Without Jarrod, they’re going to be pony. They’re going to struggle,” Dyer warned. “I don’t think we’ll beat Croatia in the first game. Anyone decent we’ve played, Senegal we lost to, Japan. As soon as he’s had a test, we’ve failed. So, I don’t know, I hope I’m wrong and I hope it’s a good thing, but Jarrod should be on that plane over (Noni) Madueke.”
