superheng1688 The Football Association has confirmed that Mason Greenwood has submitted a request to play for Jamaica in a bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in the middle of next year.

Greenwood has made just one senior appearance for England back in 2020, coming on as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Iceland before he and Phil Foden were ruled out for breaching Covid-19 regulations. superheng1688

After that, he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend, and was suspended by Manchester United. Although he later proved innocent after the court ordered not to press charges, due to the backlash, he was loaned out to Getafe before moving to join Olympique Marseille permanently this season and performing so well that there were calls for him to return to the national team.

However, FA chief executive Mark Bullingham has confirmed Greenwood’s request to switch international duties.

“My understanding, and I have asked again, is that he has applied to change his international service,” Bullingham said.

“It’s already happened officially, so he can’t come back and play for us because you can only change the national team once. I know people have asked Gareth (Southgate) about him before but he wasn’t an option because he hasn’t performed at that level, so I’m sure we haven’t had any communication with him.

“I don’t think it was forced, requested or anything like that. It’s not something we do, so it’s his personal decision,” ( superheng1688 )
