Arsenal defender Ben White, who returned to the England national team after several years, scored a goal in a friendly against Uruguay, but conceded a penalty in the final moments due to poor defense, ultimately resulting in a 1-1 draw for the Three Lions. When asked about the boos he received from the fans during the match, Henderson said it was something players have to bear, but he and his teammates would continue to support him.

Palmer took a corner in the 81st minute of the second half, Harvey Barnes headed the ball across, and Ben White then fired a low shot into the net amid a scramble, giving England a 1-0 lead.

In stoppage time of the second half, Ben White kicked Viñas in the foot while clearing the ball, and after VAR intervention, the referee awarded Uruguay a penalty. Valverde then converted the penalty, leveling the score at 1-1 for Uruguay.

England and Uruguay ultimately drew 1-1 at Wembley Stadium.

Henderson, the England midfielder who plays for Brentford, said: "As teammates, we will always support each other. I have been through this myself, but it is part of what you have to face as an England player. Some fans may not even know why they are booing the players. They just listen to what the media says, and often what the media says is not entirely true."

Ben White, 28, left the team early during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which sparked much discussion. The defender did not return to the England national team for several years.

Henderson stated, "Not many people really know the inside story about what happened in Qatar, and these are issues we need to address internally. Ben White has been performing very well since his return, and we as his teammates will support him."

“Some of us have been through this, and it’s really hard when it happens to you, but you have to try not to worry about it too much.”

Henderson added, "It's really difficult when this happens, so we need to make sure he's okay, and I believe he'll be fine. I'm happy he was able to play and score, that's the most important thing."
