Blues loan forward Omari Hutchinson has been nominated to Jamaica’s preliminary 60-man team for the CONCACAF Nations League Finals, which take place next month.
The Reggae Boyz will face the United States in a semi-final in Arlington on Thursday, March 21st, during the next international break, with the winners facing either Panama or Mexico in the final, and the two losers competing in a third/fourth-place play-off on Sunday, March 24th, also in Arlington. The squads will be reduced to 23 before the games.
Hutchinson had already received two Jamaica caps in friendlies, but has previously declined to join the squad when called up for competitive games, presumably to keep his international options open, and this is likely to be the case again this time.
Prior to his two games for Jamaica, a 6-0 defeat away to Catalonia in May 2022 and a 1-0 loss at home to Trinidad and Tobago in March the following year, the 20-year-old Chelsea attacker represented England at the U17 and U19 levels.
