"As teammates 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 teammates."
"It is really difficult when that happens, so it is important for us to try not to take it too personally. The media can spin things in certain ways, which isn't always the truth and then fans can pick up on that and think it is the truth."
Ben White returned to the England national team after nearly four years, facing booing from some fans during a friendly against Uruguay. He scored a goal but also conceded a penalty in the 1-1 draw. Jordan Henderson expressed support for White, noting that fans may not understand the full context of his previous departure from the squad. Henderson emphasized the importance of teammates supporting each other and highlighted how media narratives can mislead fans about players' situations.
