England manager Gareth Southgate has no issue with Arsenal defender Ben White.

The right-back, who is also a center half, has not been selected for the England squad.

Even though White is having a good season, Southgate admits there is a lot of competition in defense.

During his squad announcement, Southgate said: "No, we've got Kyle [Walker], Kieran [Trippier], Trent [Alexander-Arnold], we've got Reece James. There's a couple of good young ones coming through. We are on a good run.

The defense are playing well so that's where we are.

"I assume [Ben is available for selection]. Ben's been very solid for Arsenal.

He is a different profile of full-back. He's a center-back playing at full-back really. He's doing a good job for his club but he's just behind a couple of others in our reckoning."
