O’Sullivan, 49, has not played since breaking his cue at the Champions League in January.
He has since withdrawn from the Masters, German Masters and Welsh Open in recent weeks.
The Rocket’s absences have not gone unnoticed by his pal and snooker legend, White.
The six-time world champion fired a scathing dig at O’Sullivan while speaking with Stephen Hendry.
As the two played snooker on Hendry’s YouTube channel, he said: “He would like to get to eight [world championships] of course, he would.
“But I think you know you have to get your act together.
“You can’t keep not playing in competitions then expect.
“Okay he did have that year out and come back and win it.

“He still practices, he is still playing all the time.”
White also recently suggested that O’Sullivan was closing on a return to the felt.
Last week, O’Sullivan revealed that he is planning to make his comeback at the World Grand Prix in Hong Kong.
He said: “I am really looking forward to coming to Hong Kong to play in the World Grand Prix.
“I have just been having a little break to keep myself fresh. I am excited to see you all.”
Meanwhile, O’Sullivan has put his £2million home up for sale following his split from ex-fiancee Laila Rouass.
Records show the property was bought in 2018 for £1.4m, which means O’Sullivan could make a tidy profit from the sale.
Inside Ronnie’s colourful career
FROM his lightning breaks to blasts at officials, Ronnie O’Sullivan has fired snooker into the spotlight.
The seven-time world champion makes almost as big an impact away from the table as on it.
O’Sullivan has three children – two daughters and a son.
And the Rocket’s on-off relationship with British actress Laila Rouass has also hit the headlines.
He has opened up on battles with his weight and addiction.
While the controversial cueist reckons he wasted NINE YEARS of his career by partying too hard.
Despite being worth £14million, O’Sullivan is renowned for his love of canal boats and snubbing flashy cars.
His rivalry with fellow star Judd Trump has been branded ‘snooker’s greatest feud’.
And Ali Carter had his nose knocked out of joint by the Rocket in their infamous ‘Snotgate’ row.
