Former Jamaica College midfielder Tyreek Magee has been named in Jamaica’s starting XI for Thursday’s Concacaf Nations League Group B contest against Nicaragua at the National Stadium in Managua.

Magee who is making his first national senior team appearance in eleven month will be in upfront alongside Romario Williams and Demarai Gray with Bobby Reid, Karoy Anderson and Joel Latibeaudiere in midfield.

Captain Andre Blake starts in goal and be protected by Tayvon Gray, Ethan Pinnock, Damion Lowe and Greg Leigh.

Both teams are tied on four points after the Nicaraguans claimed a last-gasp 1-1 draw with Cuba on match day two, while the Reggae Boyz beat Honduras 2-1 in their previous encounter.

The Jamaicans, since losing 1-0 to Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifying fixture in February 2022, are undefeated in seven consecutive competitive fixtures versus Central American opponents, winning five of their previous six meetings against that region.

The encounter, which kicks off 9 ‘o’ clock Jamaica time, is 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 apiece.
