Sheffield Wednesday's Jamal Lowe has been called up to the Reggae Boyz squad following Leon Bailey's injury which sees him ruled out for Jamaica's upcoming fixtures against Cuba and Honduras in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Bailey was set to make his return to the national setup after his suspension. However, the winger pulled up with a hamstring injury on Saturday in Aston Villa's 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League.

Lowe's call-up will see him make a return to the squad having missed out on former head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad for the Copa America in June.

His last appearance for the Reggae Boyz came in March where he featured in Jamaica's 3-1 defeat to the USA in the Nations League semifinals.
