England head coach Gareth Southgate commented on the absence of Arsenal defender Ben White from the national team.
Gareth Southgate, Getty Images"Ben White didn't want to be selected for the national team, and that's a big loss. He is a player I really like.
I included him in the squad for the Euros and the World Cup. I spoke to him after Qatar, I really wanted him in the team... There was a clear reticence on his part on this issue," journalist Fabrizio Romano quoted Southgate on his Twitter page.
