Declan Rice Determined to Convince Ben White to Reconsider England National Team Rejection

Declan Rice is hoping to persuade his Arsenal teammate Ben White to reconsider his decision not to play for the England national team. Despite White’s impressive performances for Arsenal, he has not been included in the national team since the 2022 World Cup. Declan Rice who will captain England in their upcoming friendly against Belgium, plans to discuss the matter with White along with other Arsenal players who are also part of the national team.

While acknowledging that it’s ultimately White’s decision, Rice hopes he will change his mind as he believes White’s skills could greatly benefit the team. The England squad for Euro 2024 will be announced shortly after the Premier League season ends with Southgate aiming to finalize the 23-player squad by June 8th. In the meantime, England faces Belgium in a friendly before preparing for upcoming matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland.
