Football World Cup: England defender Ben White leaves tournament for personal reasons

Defender Ben White has left the England camp and gone home for personal reasons, and is not expected to return to the World Cup in Qatar.

Normally a central defender, but operating as right back for Premier League table-topping Arsenal this season, White was something of a surprise inclusion in the squad.

He missed training two days ago, feeling ill.

White, who has four caps, was called up as a late replacement for last year's European Championship, but did not feature.
