Arsenal Word Cup: Ben White May Be Absent In The Match Against Wales, Reportedly

Ben White, the defender for Arsenal and England, has been absent from training ahead of the Three Lions' last Group B match, scheduled to take place on November 29 against Wales.
White was the only player for England who did not show up for their final training session before their important game against Wales. After starting the same eleven players in the win against Iran and the draw against the United States, Gareth Southgate will likely switch up his starting lineup for the next match.

The great player for the Gunners has been in excellent form for his club during the beginning of the 2022–2023 season, and as a result, he was given a call-up to play for his country in the World Cup in Qatar. White might have been in the running to start tomorrow's game against Wales, but it now appears like he won't get the opportunity since he was sick and missed training.
Because White can play both rights back and center back, he will be an extremely valuable asset to Southgate's squad for the World Cup. The 25-year-old player has done an outstanding job of adjusting to his new role, which was given to him by Mikel Arteta. He provides quality both in attack and defense.
For England to advance to the round of 16, they must avoid suffering a loss to Wales by a score of 4-0. Wales is their opponent in this match. Southgate was anticipated to rotate his starting lineup on Tuesday, November 29, to provide the rest of his team with the necessary minutes to stay match-fit. White may have been one of the players running for a starting spot that day.

White was the only player on the Three Lions roster who did not attend the penultimate training session before their game against Wales, during which both Harry Kane and James Maddison were seen taking part. Eric Dier and Conor Coady could start at center back, while Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold are in the running to start at right back for the team. Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also in the running for the starting right-back position.
With the start of the new season of the Premier League coming up in a little under a month, Mikel Arteta will be relieved to hear that White has not sustained a serious injury.
