  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Greenwood won one England cap, against Iceland in 2020, but was sent home from the camp shortly after because he broke COVID quarantine rules by inviting women back to his hotel. He has not been picked since, and many believed his international career was over after he was arrested on suspicion of multiple offences, including rape. Those charges were dropped, although his Manchester United career was ended.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Jamaica have been in contact with Greenwood since the charges were dropped and the striker initially rejected their advances as he held out hope of an England recall. However, the appointment of former United assistant Steve McClaren as the country's new manager is said to have had an impact on the striker.
