'I would ban him. Modern-day players want to pick and choose their England career - I would have played if I was 50' England legend believes star shouldn't play for Three Lions for the next YEAR

Ben White, the Arsenal defender, made himself unavailable for England selection in March 2024, marking his withdrawal towards the end of Gareth Southgate's tenure. Current England manager Thomas Tuchel acknowledges White's availability and recovery from injury, suggesting it's too early for his return. Conversely, former England winger Chris Waddle opposes his return, criticizing White's previous choice to withdraw and suggesting players should consistently commit to national duty. Waddle emphasizes that no player should willingly turn down the opportunity to represent their country.
