Greenwood Declines Jamaica Call-Up, Keeps England Option Open

Jamaica coach Steve McClaren says the Marseille forward is delaying a decision to focus on club football.

Overview

  • Mason Greenwood has told Jamaica he will not commit his international future at this time, according to Steve McClaren.
  • Greenwood has a Jamaican passport and meets FIFA switch criteria but has not signed the one-time change-of-allegiance letter, so he remains eligible for England.
  • He will not join Jamaica for this window’s World Cup qualifiers against Bermuda and Trinidad & Tobago, with the federation planning to revisit talks in future camps.
  • McClaren called the stance disappointing but said Jamaica will keep contact and continue pursuing the 23-year-old.
  • The Marseille attacker scored 21 goals with six assists in Ligue 1 last season and has begun the new campaign with one goal and two assists in his first three matches.
