White, 23, made his England debut against Austria and was also part of the team which defeated Romania 1-0 in Sunday's final Euro 2020 warm-up game.

He was part of the 33-man provisional squad picked by head coach Gareth Southgate, before the 50-year-old confirmed his final list for the prestigious continental tournament.

England starts its campaign against Croatia in the Group D opener on June 13 before it faces Scotland on June 18 and the Czech Republic on June 22, with all of its games being played at Wembley Stadium in London.
