Chris Waddle Expresses Surprise Over Ben White's England Career Trajectory

Former England winger Chris Waddle has voiced surprise regarding Ben White's international career with the Three Lions. The Arsenal defender, who has been a regular for his club in the Premier League, has seen his England involvement limited despite consistent domestic form.

Waddle, who earned 62 caps for England between 1985 and 1991, discussed White's situation during a recent media appearance. The 63-year-old pundit suggested White's qualities should warrant more consideration from the national team setup.

White, 27, has made four appearances for England since his debut in 2021 but was notably absent from the squad for the 2022 World Cup after leaving the tournament early for personal reasons. He has not been recalled since, despite Arsenal's strong league campaigns.
