Uruguay grab late draw in friendly with England after White booed

Ben White, recalled after a four-year absence, scored but conceded a stoppage-time penalty leading to a 1-1 draw; he faced boos from fans despite his goal, reflecting ongoing tension.

  • On Friday, Uruguay earned a 1-1 draw against England at Wembley Stadium after Federico Valverde converted a stoppage-time penalty, marking the return of Arsenal defender Ben White.
  • White left the 2022 World Cup squad for "personal reasons," later making himself unavailable amid reports of a fall-out with former assistant Steve Holland.
  • Despite scoring an 81st-minute goal, White was roundly booed by supporters throughout his appearance and conceded the late penalty that allowed Uruguay to equalize.
  • Head Coach Thomas Tuchel utilized an experimental 35-man squad to evaluate fringe players for the 26-player World Cup group, with debutants James Garner and James Trafford struggling to impress.
  • England hosts Japan at Wembley on Tuesday in their final home game before June's World Cup, which Tuchel described as the "last opportunity" for players to secure their spots.
