[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Thomas Tuchel communicated with Ben White before confirming the first batch of England national team squad selections. Since taking over as England national team coach in January, Tuchel has been finalizing his first squad. He has watched over 20 club matches in England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and conducted personal communications and video calls with players. Now it can be revealed that Ben White is among those selected. Although Ben White is a talented defender who can play center-back or right-back, he hasn’t played for the England national team since March 2022. Since leaving the England national team during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, he subsequently stated that he would not consider returning. England will face Albania and Latvia in March for World Cup qualifiers, and the squad is expected to be announced in about two weeks. It is understood that regardless of whether Ben White makes it back into the England national team squad, Arsenal supports the player.
