England legend demands current Three Lions star is BANNED from representing his country for at least two years

A current England player should be banned from representing his country, according to a Three Lions legend.

Thomas Tuchel kicks of a new era for England, with two World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia scheduled this month.

England camp started on Monday when each member of his 26-man squad reported to St George's Park, which included Dan Burn, who got Liverpool fans talking following his interaction with Jordan Henderson as they rewatched his goal in Newcastle United's Carabao Cup triumph over Liverpool.

Ater naming his squad, Tuchel was forced to make a drastic change as he called up a Premier League star.

During the first day of England training, Tuchel ripped up Gareth Southgate's plan as a new chapter for the national team begins.

Despite Southgate leaving his role, there's still no Ben White, who refused to play under the former England boss.

Chris Waddle, who earned 62 caps for England during his career, believes Arsenal defender White should be banned from representing his national team due to his controversial stance under Southgate.

"No, I wouldn’t bring Ben White back in. He said he didn’t want to be picked again," he told 10bet.

"He spat the dummy out, didn’t he? So now he’s alright to play. So, he wants to pick and choose his England career?

"Listen, you would never say you never want to play for England."

Waddle added: "I would never have said that. I would have played if I was 50. So, modern day players who say that, I’m not being picked, so don’t pick me again, all of a sudden become available.

"For the time he didn’t play, he didn’t want to play, I would say, 'Well, we’ll give you the same ban'.

"So if it was a year or two years, then I’d consider you in two years’ time. For me, you should never say no.

"Now, OK, if you don’t get on with the manager and you don’t like the style of play, you wouldn’t be picked anyway. But when you get a late call-up, you don’t say no."

What has Thomas Tuchel said about Ben White

White's current injury ruled him out of Tuchel's first England squad.

But the German boss has the 27-year-old in his mind ahead of future England squads.

"He loves to be back in the squad but it is too early now for him given the seriousness of the injury," he said in last Friday's press conference.

"I am delighted that he is back in back-to-back trainings. We are monitoring the process.

"Now it is a question of getting more minutes and he has every chance and he wants to be back."
