Former England goalkeeper Ben Foster has criticized Gareth Southgate for ignoring Arsenal's Ben White.

The Three Lions head coach has often come in for criticism due to his squad selections.

The absence of White from the squad, who has been outstanding at right-back for Arsenal all season, came as a huge shock to Foster.

On his YouTube channel, he stated: "Something has gone on there for sure.

"Every week he is doing it. He's getting involved in goals. He's getting involved in assists for fun.

He's playing really, really well, Arsenal are on fire and these are the sort of players that when you are naming your England squad, you should be picking these players in form."

He added: "Whatever happened in the World Cup happened I've got no scoop on this. But something [else] has gone on there. It's just not right. [Gareth Southgate is] selecting Harry Maguire and players like that. It just screams of a fall out."
