Southgate delayed the announcement after the Romania game and said he wanted to check with the medical team first. Sky Sports reported White learned of his selection on his way home to the south coast around 9.30pm on Sunday. He will face higher quality opposition than Austria and Romania but White has the ability to be a success at the Euros. England could well play with a defensive three against the Croatians that could likely include Man City’s Kyle Walker and John Stones. Injuries may have fast tracked his progress but White has made the most the of the opportunity.
