Ben White breaks silence after leaving England’s World Cup camp early amid rumours of bust-up with Steve Holland
BEN WHITE has broken his silence after joining Arsenal’s mid-season training camp in Dubai.
The defender left England’s World Cup squad on November 30th due to personal reasons.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate played down allegations that White had gone home following a bust-up with assistant Steve Holland.
White then rejoined his Arsenal team-mates in Dubai on Saturday, before taking part in his first training session on Sunday.
And the 25-year-old has now taken to after linking up with his club pals.
He uploaded snaps of himself in training and simply wrote: “We back baby.”
White followed up his short post with a smiley-face emoji.
He is yet to publicly speak out on his reasons for leaving the England setup.
The defender could be involved in today’s friendly against AC Milan after being reunited with Mikel Arteta’s squad.
White did not play for the Three Lions in any of their group stage matches before leaving Qatar ahead of the last-16 victory over Senegal.
