Ben White says England fans may not have booed him 'if they knew the full story' over squad exile

Arsenal defender Ben White has suggested that England fans who booed him might have reacted differently if they were aware of the full circumstances surrounding his departure from the 2022 World Cup camp in Qatar. White walked out of the tournament and made himself unavailable for England selection for the remainder of Gareth Southgate's tenure as manager. The exact reasons behind his exit have never been fully disclosed publicly.
