"It's still a lot of months to go and in football everything can change one way or the other and if Ben wants to do that, if Thomas believes he is the right player to do so, I'm so happy for him.

"Reports later suggested a disagreement with then-manager Gareth Southgate and assistant Steve Holland, though Southgate always denied any fallout. Following England's run to the Euro 2024 final, Thomas Tuchel replaced Southgate and has revitalised the national side, winning all six World Cup qualifiers so far, scoring 18 goals and conceding none. Tuchel has previously held positive talks with White about a return, but the 28-year-old has yet to be selected in any of his squads this year."
Ben White remains in contention for England's World Cup squad with months left before the tournament. Arsenal intend to give White sufficient minutes and opportunities to prove his fitness and form. White last played for England after leaving the 2022 World Cup early for "personal reasons", with later reports suggesting a disagreement with Gareth Southgate and Steve Holland, though Southgate denied a fallout. Thomas Tuchel replaced Southgate and has overseen a revitalised England, winning six World Cup qualifiers, scoring 18 goals and keeping clean sheets. Tuchel has held positive talks with White, but the defender has not been selected this year. Injuries have limited White to four appearances this season, and Jurrien Timber currently occupies the right-back slot.
