Now the 23-year-old will be aiming to feature in the finals, having been surprised by his initial inclusion in Southgate’s plans. “Ben White’s selection for the England squad in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold was no surprise at all. “Ben White can play as a holding midfield player, in a back four, or as one of three centre-backs. “Look at the versatility Reece James and Kyle Walker have, they can play in a back three, a back four or at wing-back. Gareth has enough attacking midfield players to cope with any formation, but in defenders he’s looking for versatility.”
