Dyer pushed out by Min Jae Kim, wish blown

Eric Dier has not been called up to the England squad.

The English Football Association on Thursday (March 14) named the England national soccer team, led by Gareth Southgate. England will face Brazil on March 24 and Belgium on March 27 in a series of friendlies during the A-match period.

Dyer was not named. Jared Branswaite (Everton), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Ezri Consa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), John Stones and Kyle Walker (Manchester City) were named among the defenders.

Dyer was last capped in March of last year. He was also unavailable at the time. England played Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine and Dyer was on the bench. Dyer’s last official A-match appearance came at the World Cup in Qatar 2022, where he played two games as a substitute.

Recently, Dyer has regained his confidence at Bayern Munich. After gradually increasing his playing time following his loan move, he has been praised for his consistent performances, starting his last four official matches in a row. The Bavarians have gone unbeaten with three wins and a draw, and Tuchel and teammate Harry Kane have been singing his praises. It was a dramatic turnaround just two months after his position at Tottenham had narrowed.

When asked about the possibility of returning to the national team in an interview with The Sun, he said: “If I play for a team like Munich and continue to play well, I’ll have a good chance, and why not? The national team is a very simple place. You try 바카라사이트 to do as well as possible for your club, but other things are out of your control. I haven’t spoken to Southgate, but it’s up to me to play well,” he said.

Dyer made his debut for the national team in 2015, scoring three goals in 49 appearances. Until the 2018-19 season, he was mostly used as a defensive midfielder, but since 2020, he has played nine games at center back. Southgate favored a combination of Maguire and Dyer, but eventually began to leave him out of the starting lineup as Dyer struggled. He was hoping for a call-up ahead of the March A match, but once again failed to make the squad.
