Thomas Tuchel said he hoped the booing would not recur, insisting Ben White was desperate to represent England and had done nothing wrong since he took charge. (AFP pic)LONDON: England manager Thomas Tuchel spoke out in support of Ben White after the defender was booed when he came on as a substitute in the 2-1 Nations League win over Croatia at Wembley on Thursday.
Tuchel told reporters he had not heard the booing, which contrasted to applause for Croatia's veteran forward Luka Modric as he left the pitch and was widely reported by media present.
The Arsenal player was making his first appearance for England since March, before the World Cup which he was not selected for due to injury, and has been booed in the past after turning his back on the national team.
