Ben White says he has no complaints at boos from England fans over self-imposed exile
Arsenal defender was jeered during draw with Uruguay
‘Everyone can do whatever they want,’ says White
Ben White has said he has no complaints at being booed by England fans when he ended his international exile during the 1-1 draw with Uruguay this year.
The Arsenal defender, who has returned to Thomas Tuchel’s squad after missing last month’s camp because of injury, became unpopular with some supporters after leaving the 2022 World Cup in Qatar early for personal reasons. White made himself unavailable for the rest of Gareth Southgate’s time in charge and was given a frosty reception from the Wembley crowd when he came off the bench to make his first England appearance in almost four years during the friendly with Uruguay last March.
