In a speech delivered on Thursday, Dyke stated that young English players were not developing properly because of too much competition for places from overseas players at Premier League clubs.
However, Sunderland manager Di Canio believes the influx of foreign talent has the opposite effect.
"It can help raise standards in England, bringing fresh techniques and ideas," the Italian said. "I admire English football but it is obvious that the country has not done as well as it should have done in tournaments in the last few decades.
"If English players buy into different techniques and ideas, they will not go out of tournaments early.
"That is what I hope for, because there are positive foreign influences on the English game."
"This was change that needed to happen and now we have to deal with the new situation," he added. "If we are a united group we can achieve a lot more and for that reason we have to mix and share as much as possible.
"Together as a group of players we must speak English and it is important that the players who do not speak English learn as quickly as possible."
