With an England star recently leaving the team's 2022 FIFA World Cup camp without explanation, it has now been claimed there is more to the Premier League star's exit from Qatar than just "personal reasons".
Arsenal centre-back Ben White caught many by surprise when he left the tournament early last week after not making a single appearance for the Three Lions at the showpiece.
In a statement, the Football Association had asked that the defender's privacy be respected "at this moment in time".
Raheem Sterling also left the squad following a burglary at his home in Surrey last weekend, but the Chelsea star has since returned to the team's camp.

However, according to the Daily Star, White's exit actually stems from a fallout with England assistant coach Steve Holland, while the 25-year-old is also said to have struggled to fully integrate into the squad off the pitch, leaving the Gunners star feeling unhappy at the team's Al Wakrah training base as a result.
Holland and White are said to have had a heated exchange after the fullback turned up to a team meeting ahead of their group match against the USA without knowing important information about his personal statistics or their upcoming opponents.
Following the bust-up, a mutual decision was made for White to leave the camp and return to England.
