Gareth Southgate has refused to comment on suggestions Benjamin White left the England's World Cup base due to a disagreement with assistant manager Steve Holland.
Arsenal defender White left Qatar to return to the United Kingdom at the end of November without featuring in any of the Three Lions' group-stage fixtures. A Football Association statement confirmed the news and cited "personal reasons" as the reason for the departure while asking for the player's privacy to be respected.
A report from the Daily Star on Thursday claimed White, 25, left England's Al Wakrah headquarters after falling out with Holland. Further, the former Brighton star is understood to have struggled to integrate with the other members of the 26-man squad, leaving him unhappy in the Middle East.
