On July 25, the Mirror reported that Arsenal star Ben White might return to the England national team after Gareth Southgate’s departure.
White’s conflict with the England national team arose during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. White had a disagreement with England assistant coach Steve Holland, leading to his departure from the Three Lions. He has not played for England since.
Following Southgate’s resignation, Holland will also step down as England’s assistant coach. This opens the door for White’s potential return to the national team.
White is a key player for Arsenal. In the 2023-24 season, he made 51 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists. His absence from Euro 2024 was considered a significant loss for England.
After concluding their Euro 2024 campaign, England’s next match will be against Ireland on September 8 in the UEFA Nations League. The Three Lions will then officially begin preparations for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
