KINGSTON, Jamaica – Reggae Boyz fans were greeted with exciting news as midfielder Ravel Morrison was called up for Monday’s highly anticipated second leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals against the United States. The match will take place in St. Louis, Missouri, with Jamaica looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit following Thursday’s loss at the National Stadium in Kingston.
Morrison, who has been absent from the national team since March 2023, is set to bring his flair and creativity back to the midfield. The former Manchester United prospect had not featured in recent fixtures due to limited playing time, having only just joined Precision FC in the UAE Second Division after a lengthy period without a club.
Head coach Steve McClaren spoke highly of the midfielder, describing him as “my type of player,” praising Morrison’s technical ability and vision on the ball. While Morrison’s match fitness was a concern initially, his addition to the squad brings much-needed dynamism to a midfield that has often struggled with creativity and control.
With Jamaica needing to win by at least two goals to secure a spot in the semifinals, Morrison’s experience and skill could play a crucial role in the team’s bid for a comeback. The inclusion of Morrison has been welcomed by fans, hopeful that his presence will inject the squad with the attacking quality needed for a strong finish.
