England manager Thomas Tuchel noted that Arsenal defender Ben White is eager to return to the international team, contrasting his previous two-and-a-half year self-imposed exile. White has recently signed a long-term contract with Arsenal and, despite being a key player, he was absent from the Euro 2024 squad due to his own decision, which followed early withdrawal from the 2022 World Cup. Tuchel stated that White's absence from the first squad wasn’t due to refusal but his recent recovery from a knee injury. His return to full training is hopeful for his future inclusions.
Tuchel emphasized that Ben White has expressed a desire to reenter the selection for England, indicating a positive change in White's stance towards international play.
After being sidelined for three months due to a knee injury, White has made a return, and Tuchel praised the medical staff for their role in his recovery.
