"Ben White's departure from the England World Cup squad was officially attributed to 'personal reasons', but reports suggest it stemmed from a disagreement with assistant manager Steve Holland over a comment made about White's interest in football."
"The incident reportedly began when Holland made a remark about White's admission that he has no interest in football outside of his playing career, which White perceived as disrespectful."
Ben White is set to make his first England appearance in four years after a self-imposed exile. He last played for England in March 2022 against the Ivory Coast. White left the England camp during the World Cup in Qatar due to a disagreement with assistant manager Steve Holland, following a comment made about White's lack of interest in football outside of his career. His recent call-up for friendlies against Uruguay and Japan marks his return to the squad after this incident.
