"As team-mates we are always there to support. I have been through it myself, but that is part and parcel of being an England player. Some of the fans probably don't even know why they are booing, they listen to what is being said in the media, and a lot of the time what the media says isn't true."
"Not many people know the ins and outs of what happened in Qatar and it is for us to deal with internally. Ben has been good since he came back in and we will support him as team-mates."
"Before the game, the German coach suggested that it would be necessary for the Arsenal man to clear the air with the squad."
Ben White returned to the England squad under manager Thomas Tuchel as an injury replacement. He scored the opening goal but was booed by some fans. This reaction stemmed from his controversial exit from the 2022 World Cup. Jordan Henderson defended White, stating that fans lack understanding of the situation and often rely on media narratives. Henderson emphasized the importance of team support and suggested that the team should handle internal matters regarding White's past absence.
