It remains unclear whether White, a six-time England international, will be available for Thomas Tuchel’s squad at the 2026 World Cup. According to multiple media reports, further tests over the coming weeks will determine the severity of the setback. Tuchel had called up White for the March internationals, marking the first time in four years the defender had been included in the England setup.
