From the source

England boss Thomas Tuchel believes Ben White “deserves to open a new chapter” with the national team following his recall to the squad. The Arsenal defender is one of 25 players called up for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia at home and Spain away.

It’s the 29-year-old’s first call-up since March when he was booed by England fans after coming off the bench for the 1-1 draw against Uruguay and again against Japan.

Those were his first appearances for the Three Lions since his controversial departure from the camp midway through the FIFA World Cup in 2022. He left for “personal reasons”, reported to be related to a falling out with then-assistant coach Steve Holland.
