Antonio, De Cordova-Reid headline Jamaica’s roster for USMNT showdown
The U.S. men’s national team now knows who will be suiting up across from them in the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League semifinals.
Michail Antonio, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Andre Blake headlined Heimir Hallgrimsson’s 23-player roster for the March 21 showdown with the Americans. Star attacker Demarai Gray is in the squad, but is suspended for the semifinal tie, while Leon Bailey was not selected due to disciplinary reasons.
Jamaica has only earned three victories over the USMNT in 32 prior meetings, last defeating the Americans in June 2019. Hallgrimsson has certainly impressed in his recent time as head coach, losing just one of his last nine matches in charge.
Antonio and De Cordova-Reid will headline the Reggae Boyz’s attack, with both continuing to feature regularly in the English Premier League. Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake remains a key cog on the back end, while Damion Lowe and Michael Hector are the experienced defenders in the current squad.
Should Jamaica pull the semifinal upset over the USMNT, it will meet either Mexico or Panama in March 24th’s final.
