Real Madrid's Ben White has been called up for the England squad for pre-World Cup trials, despite Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold being overlooked. Thomas Tuchel, the England manager, has been using this opportunity to replace Jarell Quansah, a utility man from Bayer Leverkusen. White, who is a defender of significant quality and versatility, could be a valuable addition to a 26-man squad. However, White has played just 411 minutes of Premier League football this season and has been plagued by injuries. Despite this, Tuchel has defended White's ability and stated that he knows what Alexander-arnold can offer and doesn't need to drag him over from Madrid.
