Mason Greenwood's Revival Spurs England Talk as Jamaica Squad Opposes Late World Cup Call-Up

Despite prolific form, he remains outside England plans, with Jamaica regulars cautioning against a late World Cup invite.

Overview

  • Marseille winger Timothy Weah publicly backed Greenwood and said he hopes the 24-year-old earns an England recall after their win over Newcastle.
  • England manager Thomas Tuchel said in September that Greenwood is not being considered for selection and that he has not spoken to the player or his camp.
  • Greenwood has scored 10 goals in 12 Ligue 1 matches this season and 33 in 53 games since joining Marseille in 2024.
  • Having obtained a Jamaican passport, Greenwood declined a September call-up, while JFF president Michael Ricketts expressed hope he will still choose Jamaica.
  • Jamaica’s Isaac Hayden called a late inclusion a “farce” and Amari’i Bell warned it would be “controversial” as the team prepares for March play-offs against New Caledonia and potentially DR Congo.
