The Arsenal defender returned to the Three Lions squad for the first time under Thomas Tuchel this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">White was called up as an injury replacement for Jarell Quansah. He was jeered by sections of England fans after coming on as a substitute against Uruguay to end his international exile on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The 28-year-old looked to have scored a late winner for Tuchel\u2019s side before conceding a penalty that ensured the match ended 1-1. However, speculation continues over the cause of his earlier dispute during Gareth Southgate&#8217;s time in charge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The Arsenal star left the World Cup squad in 2022 due to personal reasons. While there have been persistent rumours of a row with England&#8217;s coaching staff, a fresh explanation for his absence has emerged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">FOLLOW OUR ARSENAL FB PAGE!<\/strong> <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mirrorfootballarsenal#\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\"\/><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Latest Gunners news and more on our dedicated Facebook page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cThis is what I\u2019m led to understand has happened with Ben White,\u201d broadcaster Adrian Durham said on <a aria-label=\"talkSPORTLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/football\/4149263\/ben-white-world-cup-qatar-2022-walkout-olivier-giroud\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">talkSPORT<\/a>. \u201cThe players were told to watch videos of opponents and they were given videos on their laptops, iPads, whatever it was.<\/p>\n<p><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_13e0b4\">READ MORE<!-- -->: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Thomas Tuchel admits mass international withdrawal of Arsenal stars looks &#8216;suspicious&#8217;<\/span><\/span><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_13e0b4\">READ MORE<!-- -->: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Inside England&#8217;s World Cup base with security concerns and scorching heat addressed<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cHe decided not to and the England analysts knew, because they had the tech, who had and who hadn\u2019t watched the videos.
