The Gunners star had gone back home to London on November 30 due to 'personal reasons', a day after missing England's final group match against Wales.

The Football Association released a statement saying they did not expect the defender - who had been on the bench for England's opening two games against Iran and the United States - to return. They also requested that 'the player's privacy is respected'.

Arsenal then tweeted: "We're all with you, Ben."

Now, though, White appears to be back in action with the club's official Twitter account posting pictures of the ex-Brighton star training with them again.

It had been claimed White was remaining at home whilst his team were out in Dubai for their mid-season training camp.

But he now appears to be preparing with his club for their friendlies against AC Milan and Juventus. Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign as they face West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Boxing Day.

England bowed out of Qatar 2022 with a 2-1 defeat to France in the quarter-finals on Saturday night.

There had been reports White had a bust-up with Gareth Southgate's assistant coach, Steve Holland.

The Daily Star alleged that White had a verbal disagreement with Holland in front of the entire England squad.

It was also claimed the 25-year-old 'struggled to mix' with his Three Lions teammates in Qatar, leading to the decision to send him home from the camp early.

However when asked by talkSPORT to elaborate on the alleged trouble, Southgate said: "Well, not really. What I've been shown was alleged and there was another word that was used.

"I think by commenting on the story I could be giving it any form of credibility, really.

"We explained why Ben left the camp and I think it's important that that is respected, really."
