Tuchel Says Mason Greenwood Not in England Plans After Jamaica Call-Up Declined

Jamaica say he turned down this month’s invitation, with any switch requiring a formal letter that would close off a future with England.

Overview

  • England manager Thomas Tuchel said he has not spoken to Mason Greenwood and that the forward is not currently under consideration, though he did not rule out future discussions.
  • Jamaica head coach Steve McClaren said Greenwood obtained a Jamaican passport but chose not to commit "at this time," calling the decision disappointing and stating Jamaica will keep pursuing him.
  • McClaren said Greenwood wants to concentrate on club football for now rather than choose a national team.
  • Greenwood remains eligible for England with one senior cap from 2020, and a change of association would require a written declaration that would prevent any return to the Three Lions.
  • The Marseille striker has rebuilt his form in France, recording 21 Ligue 1 goals and six assists last season after leaving Manchester United.
