Tuchel has been attending matches and making video calls to gather a full picture of his squad options.
According to The Telegraph, he has contacted White, who hasn’t played for England since March 2022.
The defender withdrew from the 2022 World Cup squad and later asked not to be considered by Gareth Southgate.
Tuchel’s outreach follows his promise to offer a fresh start to previously overlooked players.
