Sheffield Wednesday FC forward Jamal Lowe has been called up to the Reggae Boyz squad for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League matches, replacing Leon Bailey.

Bailey, who was initially named in the squad for the matches starting Friday, September 6, against Cuba, suffered an unfortunate injury while playing for Aston Villa in a Premier League match against Leicester City on Saturday. The winger appeared to strain a muscle while lunging to block a pass in the final third, forcing his substitution in the 15th minute, with Jacob Ramsey coming on in his place.

In addition to Bailey, newly installed coach Steve McLaren had called Norman Campbell, and Adrian Reid Jr., while others make their return include Amari’i Bell, Jon Russell to the squad.
