Arsenal defender Ben White for "playing cards on the beach" on the same day that
England were defeated by Brazil. White pulled out of selection for the latest Three Lions squad earlier this month. Arsenal director Edu informed Gareth Southgate of his decision not to be included ahead of Euro 2024 warmup friendlies against
Brazil and
Belgium, despite the fact he has been in excellent form this season. And on Saturday - the same day that England faced Brazil at Wembley - his wife, Milly White, posted an image on
Instagram of the couple enjoying some time away and lying on sunbeds while playing card game Uno. According to the Daily Mail, White jetted off to Dubai for some sun before Arsenal take on
Manchester City this weekend. "Arsenal defender Ben White has jetted off to Dubai," Stelling said on talkSPORT. "He decided he didn't want to play for England in the games against Brazil and Belgium." Read More Related Articles

"I have a bit of sympathy for people who play cards, but not Ben. What are you doing? What are you doing posting the fact that you are in Dubai playing cards? You decided not to play for England, that's fine. Your prerogative, just let the boys get on with it. "Ben White hasn't played for England since March 2022, but he was picked for the
World Cup in Qatar later that year. He left the tournament early because of 'personal reasons'. People thought he might have had a falling out with Steve Holland, who helps manage the team." Ben White has enjoyed some time off with his wife (Image: @millywhite) Gareth Southgate said of White "He doesn't want to play right now. I spoke to him post-Qatar and there was reticence from his side. "I don't know why that is. There is no issue between us at all and there's also no issue with Steve (Holland), which has been mentioned in articles and I don't like that. I have to accept things are false about me, but I'm not prepared for that to happen to my coaching team. That is not the reason Ben is not with us."
