Ben White says he has no complaints at boos from England fans over self-imposed exile

Arsenal defender Ben White stated he has no complaints after being booed by England supporters following his return from international exile. Speaking ahead of Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, the 29-year-old addressed the frosty reception he received during last March's 1-1 friendly draw against Uruguay, noting that fans might react differently if they knew the full story behind his departure from the 2022 World Cup.

White had made himself unavailable under former manager Gareth Southgate after leaving the Qatar tournament early for personal reasons. Current England manager Thomas Tuchel brought White back into the squad, and the defender praised Tuchel's effort in reconnecting, while confirming he remains committed to moving forward and targeting a place at Euro 2028.
