Arsenal defender Ben White was a late change for England’s starting lineup as they face Switzerland in an international friendly with Switzerland on Saturday evening. The 24-year-old was originally on the bench for the game, but an injury sustained by John Stones meant that White was called upon as his replacement.
The match will be the centre-back’s third appearance for the Three Lions, having made two friendly appearances before last summer’s European Championships. He made his debut from the bench against Austria in a 1-0 win before playing all ninety against Romania in another 1-0 victory.
Though he didn’t make the final squad for England, who went on to reach the final against Italy in the Euros, White will be hoping to make the side that travels to Qatar for the World Cup later this year. While his club form does some of the talking, performing under Gareth Southgate could help his case even more.
