People don't know full story behind England exile - White

Arsenal defender Ben White says people do not know the "full story" behind his decision to previously make himself unavailable for England selection - but says he would make the same decision again. White, who has been named in Thomas Tuchel's squad for upcoming Nations League fixtures, left the Three Lions' camp at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to return home for personal reasons.

He then made himself unavailable for selection for the rest of Gareth Southgate's reign, and was booed by some fans in March's 1-1 draw with Ukraine after returning to the squad under Tuchel. White is now 29 and asked if he would have done anything differently in hindsight, he added: "No, I don't think I would.

White came on for his first England appearance since 2022 in March's 1-1 draw with Uruguay and was booed by some supporters before he scored but also gave away the penalty that led to the visitors' equaliser.
