Arsenal defender Ben White has departed the England World Cup squad in Qatar to return home for personal reasons.
White has left the Three Lions training base in Al Wakrah and is not expected to return for the remainder of the tournament. The 25-year-old has yet to feature in any of Gareth Southgate’s side’s three group games.
The Gunners defender has been enjoying a strong domestic campaign for Mikel Arteta’s team, starting all 14 Premier League matches for the North London club this season and playing a key role in their ascendancy at the top of the standings prior to the World Cup break.
