Theodore Whitmore has made three changes to his line up as Jamaica's senior men's football team's semi-final clash with the USA in the Concacaf Gold Cup this evening.

Darren Mattocks, the scorer of Jamaica's only goal against Panama in Sunday's quarter-final, gets the nod, along with Peter-Lee Vassell and Devon Williams. Damion Lowe is missing through suspension from yellow cards accrued.

The squad reads:

1. Andre Blake (captain)

3. Michael Hector

5. Alvas Powell

7. Leon Bailey

10. Darren Mattocks

12. Junior Flemmings

14. Shaun Francis

15. Je-Vaughn Watson

16. Peter-Lee Vassell

20. Kemar Lawrence

22. Devon Williams

The game, which takes place at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Jamaica time. Jamaica won the most recent meeting between both teams, through a Shamar Nicholson long range effort in an international friendly in Washington DC on June 5. Their last meeting before that game saw the Americans winning 2-1 in the 2017 Gold Cup final.
