Ben White joined Arsenal from Brighton for £50m in July 2021 England manager Thomas Tuchel says he will "reach out" to Arsenal defender Ben White about the possibility of returning to the national team. White left England's 2022 World Cup camp in Qatar after the group stage to return home for personal reasons. The 27-year-old has played four times for the Three Lions, with his last appearance in March 2022. Tuchel was appointed England manager in October, replacing Gareth Southgate, and will begin his tenure on 1 January. "I will reach out to him, " said the German. "It should be a clean start and a clear narrative. "I will be in the stadiums from January. I will also not distract the players and they should just know, 'OK, the boss is there from January'. " England discovered their 2026 World Cup qualifying group on Friday and will face Serbia, Albania, Latvia and Andorra. Southgate said in March that White, who can play as a centre-back or right-back, had made himself unavailable for selection. White is currently sidelined after undergoing surgery on his knee, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta confirming in November he will be out for "months".
