But Tuchel – who officially began work as England boss on January 1 after his October 2024 appointment – has made contact with White to determine whether he should include him in next month’s World Cup qualifiers squad.
In England’s Qatar World Cup camp, White left early for “personal reasons” without making a single appearance – it later transpired it was down to a comment Holland made to him in front of the rest of the squad.
Speaking at the 2026 World Cup draw back in December, Tuchel confirmed that he would reach out to White and that has now happened.
James Maddison is among those hoping for an England recall too, while Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner urged the new boss to hand Eberechi Eze a place in the squad.
German coach Tuchel has spent the first seven weeks of his reign attending more than 20 live games across Europe and speaking to players in person or over video calls – including White.
