Lee Carsley Respects Ben White's England Exit

“White has asked to be not contacted...”

England head coach Lee Carsley respects Ben White's decision to step back from the team, citing White's request not to be contacted. Carsley focuses on preparing the team for the September Nations League friendlies.

In a recent statement, England head coach Lee Carsley revealed that he has no plans to contact Ben White, as the player has requested not to be reached out to. Carsley emphasized that it's White's decision, and he respects his choice.

England head coach Lee Carsley: “I've not planned to talk to Ben White.

“White has asked to be not contacted.

“We're not talking, it's his decision.”

This development comes as Carsley takes the reins as England's interim head coach, following Gareth Southgate's departure after the Euro 2024 final loss to Spain. Carsley, who led the U21s to European Championship glory last year, will guide the team through the September Nations League friendlies.
