Jamaica is ready to make a splash at the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup, head coach Theodore Whitmore has named his 23-man roster and young talent Leon Bailey could have a huge tournament.
The roster also includes Philadelphia Union standout Andre Blake in goal and is rounded out by veteran Kemar Lawrence. Then there are a lot of faces with a handful of appearances for the Reggae Boyz as the team looks to gel going forward.
Jamaica will be in Group C and on paper should be able to challenge for one of the two qualifying spots. Suriname and Guadalupe will not be pushovers and Costa Rica should be the favorite to lead the Group.
