England defender Ben White is pictured enjoying a relaxing vacation in Ibiza with his family while his former teammates compete in Euro 2024.

White, who would likely have been part of the final squad if available, made himself unavailable for selection in March. Gareth Southgate, the Three Lions boss, revealed that the 26-year-old opted out of international duty.

Photos show White stocking up on nicotine pouches, which are often confused with Snus, a banned tobacco product in the UK. White is also seen holding two cigars and sipping wine with his wife Milly and parents. Other pictures depict him enjoying conversations and leisure activities with his family.

A recent study by the Professional Footballers’ Association revealed that one in five top-level players use Snus, nicotine pouches, or both. The study raises concerns about potential health risks associated with nicotine use, including addiction, increased cаncer risks, and оral and cardiovascular problems.

While White appears to be enjoying his break, England secured a 1-0 victory over Serbia in their Euro 2024 opener with a goal by Jude Bellingham. White is expected to return to pre-season training with Arsenal in a few weeks.

Milly White has been sharing photos of their vacation on social media. Reports suggest a rift between White and assistant manager Steve Holland in 2022 might be the reason behind his international exile.

England midfielder Declan Rice stated he respects White’s decision and hopes to see him return to the national team eventually.

Reports claim the disagreement sparked during the World Cup in Qatar when Holland questioned White’s interest in football. White allegedly responded negatively, leading Holland to believe he lacked passion for the sport.
