Gareth Southgate's decision to omit in-form Arsenal defender Ben White from his latest England squad has been called into question by many onlookers. Among those is former Three Lions goalkeeper Ben Foster, who has criticized Southgate for ignoring the high-quality performances put in by White at the Emirates Stadium this season.
White has really made the Arsenal right-back berth his own this campaign, most recently playing an instrumental role in the Gunners' 4-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday. That performance also demonstrated his on-pitch relationship with compatriot Bukayo Saka, with the pair tormenting Palace's left-hand side.
However, England are incredibly fortunate to have several first-rate options for the right-back position. Southgate's squad for the March internationals instead featured Reece James, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker, with White joining Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold in missing the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine.
