Thomas Tuchel has revealed the personal reason why Arsenal defender Ben White has been left out of the latest England squad.

White, 27, has been absent from the Gunners' matchday squads for much of the season after sustaining a knee injury in November.

England will return to action next month following the end of the Premier League season as they take on Andorra in a World Cup qualifier on June 7, before playing Senegal in a friendly three days later.

They will do so without White, who left England's 2022 World Cup campaign in Qatar in controversial circumstances following a reported bust-up with ex-manager GAreth Southgate's former assistant Steve Holland.
