Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has backed Gunners defender Ben White "to make the step up" to England's World Cup squad.
But his World Cup selection hopes for Qatar this winter were boosted by right-back Kyle Walker's groin injury.
White has mostly played right-back for Arsenal this season despite being used as a centre-half last campaign.
And Arteta praised the former Brighton and Leeds player's versatility, with Manchester City's Walker set to have surgery.
"Ben would be very comfortable playing on the right side of a back three as well as in the middle or as a full-back," said the Spaniard.
