BREAKING: England Star Has Left The World Cup Squad After Fighting With The Coach
English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team, White William has reportedly left the World Cup squad after fighting with England coach Steve Holland.
Earlier on in the World Cup campaign, the FA announced that White had left the England squad, citing personal reasons, through the Daily Mail.
A reporter from the Daily Star has given the reason behind White’s departure from the England squad. The report claims that White had a bust-up with manager Holland.
The Arsenal star reportedly became unhappy during the England camp and didn’t feel as though he could mix with his teammates. The final straw came when he fell out with coach Holland after not knowing important information during a team meeting.
It was unusual that White felt he was unable to mix with his teammates, as, from the outside looking in, this England squad looks like the most close-knit we’ve seen in a long time.
The camaraderie and closeness of the players are often given as a reason behind England’s success under Gareth Southgate, so to hear it makes sense to allow him to leave to not disrupt the team harmony.
White was the subject of a club record association football transfer when he signed for Arsenal in 2021 in a transfer worth up to €50 million, becoming their most expensive defender.
