Jordan Henderson has confirmed England players will support Ben White after the Arsenal defender faced boos from fans at Wembley during Friday's 1-1 draw with Uruguay. The incident marked a rare moment in English football where a player scored his first international goal at the national stadium only to be met with disapproval from a sizeable minority of the crowd.

White's return to the England squad comes after his departure from the 2022 World Cup squad in Qatar for personal reasons. While speculation surrounded a potential fall-out involving assistant coach Steve Holland, manager Gareth Southgate never confirmed these reports. Thomas Tuchel had previously described White as introverted and shy, suggesting the defender may be uncomfortable addressing the controversy publicly.

The booing incident highlights the complex relationship between England players and fans, particularly for those who've faced scrutiny. White's teammates, led by Henderson, are standing firmly behind him as he navigates this challenging moment in his international career.
