There will be wait a until the final minutes to determine if West Bromwich Albion defender Mason Holgate has been cleared by FIFA to suit up for Jamaica’s Reggae boyz in Thursday evening’s  Concacaf Nations League Group ‘B’ encounter against Nicaragua .

That’s the word from Reggae Boyz head coach Steve Mclaren.

Holgate who is receiving his maiden international call-up for Jamaica was one of nine defenders listed in the 23 man squad .

According to Mclaren they are now waiting on the green-light from the world governing body.

Meanwhile, the Reggae Boyz last evening completed training in wet conditions ahead of the encounter which will be played on turf.

Mclaren in looking ahead says the surface will have no impact on their play and the aim is to win the game.

The game will be played at the National Football Stadium in Managua.

Both teams are tied on four points with the Jamaicans leading the table on goal difference.

The encounter will also be the first meeting between the teams in the Concacaf Nations league and third all-time across all competitions, with the head-to-head series currently tied at one win apiece.
