- Defender not used by England since 2022 World Cup
- Newcastle’s Tino Livramento could receive first call
Lee Carsley is not expected to reintegrate Ben White into the England squad when he makes his first selection as the interim manager on Thursday for the upcoming Nations League ties against Republic of Ireland and Finland.
White has not been involved with England since he returned early from the Qatar World Cup in December 2022 amid reports of a row with Steve Holland, who was then the assistant manager. The Arsenal defender’s situation is more nuanced, taking in how comfortable he has felt under the glare of the international spotlight, and the change of management after Euro 2024 from Gareth Southgate and Holland to Carsley has not changed things.
