Max Dowman told what will ‘go against him’ in bid for England World Cup spot

Premier League History at 16

Max Dowman has made Premier League history at Arsenal, with the 16-year-old wonderkid rewriting the record books.

Gareth Barry's Warning

Gareth Barry has told GOAL why the exciting youngster is likely to miss out on a place in England’s 2026 World Cup squad.

• Dowman made Premier League history at Arsenal as a 16-year-old.
• There has been talk of the teenager becoming a wild card for the Three Lions.

“At the moment I think he is in a good place to fight for his minutes at Arsenal. We always have the chance to call him, maybe, up for the World Cup. There is no need to call him up now and increase the pressure and increase all the noise that comes with it, but we have all options.” - Thomas Tuchel

Chances of World Cup Spot

Questions are being asked of whether Max Dowman needs to be fast tracked through that system.
