Ben White's exit from the World Cup squad midway through the tournament in Qatar was reportedly due to a bust-up with England assistant boss Steve Holland.
White, 25, did not in any of England's three group matches before leaving the camp in Qatar on November 30 owing to 'personal reasons', the FA said in a statement. He will not return to Qatar and Southgate did not call-up a replacement, leaving him a man down.
A new report in the Daily Star has now claimed the Arsenal defender's departure was because of a row with Holland, Southgate's longstanding No 2.
