Arsenal defender Ben White "wants to be back" in the England squad, according to Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel. The 27-year-old has not been involved with England since leaving the camp during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for personal reasons. White then made himself unavailable for selection for the rest of Gareth Southgate's reign.
