Those charges were ultimately dropped in February 2023 and paved the way for him to return to football the following September with a loan move to Getafe.

Greenwood inked a permanent deal with Ligue 1 side Marseille last July and has shone at the Stade Velodrome.

And he could soon be back on the international stage with Jamaica having recently acquired a passport for the Caribbean country.

All that remains now for Greenwood to play for the ‘Reggae Boyz’ is for him to change his allegiance from the FA to the Jamaican Football Association.

If his switch is cleared, he could very well feature in Jamaica’s upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bermuda and Trinidad and Tobago.

New Jamaica boss Steve McLaren recently revealed he’d been in contact with Greenwood and his family about switching allegiances.

The former England manager said: “We are in contact all the time, with him (Greenwood) and his family.

“It is up to him when he moves forward with that.

“The ball is in his court.”

Greenwood was one of Marseille’s star performers last season, scoring 22 goals and providing six assists in 36 appearances in all competitions for Roberto de Zerbi’s side.
