Ben White has sent a message of thanks to Arsenal fans following his premature return to the club.
The 25-year-old defender travelled to Qatar a month ago to be part of England 's World Cup squad. But shortly after the Three Lions advanced from the group stage, White made his way home for 'personal reasons' and the same statement from the FA confirmed that he wouldn't return. One report emerged a week later claiming that the £50million centre-back had been embroiled in a bust-up with England boss Gareth Southgate 's assistant, Steve Holland.
Promptly joining up with the Arsenal squad on a warm-weather training camp in Dubai, White played 45 minutes in the Gunners' 2-1 friendly victory over Italian giants AC Milan. But it's his work from before the Gunners broke off for the World Cup that has prompted him to get in touch with supporters, as he was named as the club's player of the month for November.
