Benjamin The White 📝

One of my favourite players of the squad. Tidy, smart, great pass on him. Also love that he doesn’t give a toss about the sport outside of it as a work, I find that endearing. Just like Olof Mellberg (first player to score on emirates una)

Olof was talking rubbish. He loves football. Even managed 3 teams after he retired

At least give me the twitter user that made the claim.

@A__G when he discovers there’s some twitter knob he doesn’t follow already…

I can’t say it out of respect for Ben.

So the tweet was deleted and you are the only person on this planet that had time to read it? I definitely find that credible.

Troll. Ban this guy.

I think he’s referring to people saying he had to leave Qatar because he is gay which is pretty stupid and was hoping no one would bring it up here.

Ngl when I first heard he was going home I thought of making this joke then realised it would be in very poor taste if not just sick…

More I think about it though the more I’m fairly sure it’s something tragically serious. Getting a day off training for “illness” and then leaving the squad when a first WORLD CUP APPEARANCE was on the cards it must be massive. For all we know he might have just been diagnosed with cancer or sth. Who knows. The list of terrible things that could have happened is endless. Just hope he comes out of it all ok.

I think if he doesn’t play for us when we come back then we’ll be able to tell if it’s something effecting him or a family issue.

Knowing how blazé he is about football it’s tempting to assume he said sod this

This is my guess too, especially as I've just read that interview.

Hope he doesn't get slated if it's something that some would view as 'minor', he's not exactly a starter and if he wants to go back home then more power to him.

What I like about White is he's a pro. I'm sure football isn't the love of his life but he gives his all doing his job because that's what he's paid to do and he obviously takes a degree of pride in that.

Honestly, if I'm making as much money as him I'm not racing home on a thursday night to watch Rapid Wien vs Dundalk either.

Do your job to the best of your abilities and do what you like in your free time, within reason.

His personal / family stuff should be off limits anyway, unless he chooses to make it public.

There’s loads of footballers like that, Alexis Sanchez didn’t even know who Gundogan was.

Who is Gundogan?

Could they not have said it was an injury? ‘Personal issues’ will always invite speculation.

There's a dog in the name, so I doubt that.

That’s not at all. There is a family situation.

You should just stop with this trolling.

It's best to not believe everything you read on a version of Twitter ran by Elon Musk. I imagine the club know why he is coming home and the simple statement implies it is something deeply personal, so it is best to respect his right to privacy and wish him well.

I feel sorry for you if you believed Twitter at any point tbh
