Thomas Tuchel believes Ben White "deserves a second chance" but says the returning England defender has to "clear the air" with team-mates on his first call-up since the 2022 World Cup.The 28-year-old was part of Sir Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad and then went to the World Cup in Qatar, only to leave during the knockout phase due to what the Football Association called "personal reasons".Reports later emerged of an alleged bust-up with assistant Steve Holland - something repeatedly denied by Southgate, who revealed in March 2024 that the Arsenal defender had made himself unavailable for England.Tuchel confirmed this time last year that the right-back wanted to return to the fold and an injury to Jarell Quansah has seen him drafted into the 35-man squad as a replacement for the friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
