White’s controversial departure from national team training four years ago was reportedly sparked by an altercation with Gareth Southgate’s former assistant Steve Holland. The row reportedly broke out after Holland questioned White’s interest in football in front of his teammates, comparing his preparation to that of Manchester City defender Kyle Walker.
The Arsenal player, who has previously admitted to not having been a football fan as a child and not watching matches in his free time, is said to have been deeply upset by the public nature of the exchange.
Following this incident, he made headlines by scheduling his wedding to Milly Adams in 2023 during an international break, signaling his intention not to return under the previous coaching regime.
