Ben White could return to the England national team when a new manager is named as Gareth Southgate’s replacement.
Southgate has left his role as the England boss after leading them to the final of Euro 2024.
He has been one of the most successful managers in the national team’s history and made them a strong team in the world again.
However, after failing in back-to-back Euros finals, he has left his role as England’s manager.
A new manager will be named when the FA finds one, but one player who might play for England again is White.
He has not been part of the team since he left their World Cup camp in 2022, and the defender turned down requests to return after the competition.
He remains one of the most in-form English players and plays every game for Arsenal, so he should be starting for England, too.
A report in the Daily Mail claims England fans are now expecting him to return to the team, with some making that clear on social media that they need White back in the team.
Just Arsenal Opinion
White’s absence from international football has helped us because he has played fewer games and has rested well, but we will support him if he wants to return.

I was having a conversation about this current England team with one of my work colleagues that is a Liverpool yesterday, and out of nowhere suggested that Ben white should be included back into the squad.
I just think that Ben is a okay. But he seems to be highly rated.
Its not really out of nowhere!! The premier league right back of the season didn’t get into the team England team competing against two players who also play in the premier league.
I wish he had been in the team when Walker inexplicably went to the middle and left Nico totally uncovered. Even though overall Nico would have been difficult for Ben, he has excelled in the past against such challenges and he very well could have been the difference maker against Spain.
Not a discussion about this, the fact he can play CB too makes it a no-brainer. Add in the age of the likes of Stones/Maguire/Walker/Trippier it’s not a conversation. There is a place whether he starts or not, his link-up with Rice/Sake should surely play a role in his chances at RB. That said I wouldn’t be surprised to see Timber start at RB for us sometime this year.
For England it shouldn’t have ever been a question, he should have been brought back in earlier but Southgate leaned into him being an RB as an excuse repeatedly until he was desperate and White imo quite rightly said shove it we have a title race to concentrate on where I am appreciated at which point Southgate publically threw him under the bus.
