Jamaica finalizes Copa America squad

Premier League-winning captain Wes Morgan will lead Jamaica at the 2016 Copa America Centenario.

There were few surprises as Jamaica coach Winfried Schafer named his final 23-man squad for the upcoming Copa America Centenario.

Jamaica is led by Leicester City captain Wes Morgan, who will be full of confidence after having guided the side to a remarkable Premier League triumph in 2015-16.

The experience duo of Rodolph Austin and Je-Vaughn Watson — who have almost 130 caps between them — were named in the midfield, but Schafer elected not to pick 72-time international Demar Phillips.

There also was no room for former Colorado Rapids striker Deshorn Brown or the Portland Timbers duo of Alvas Powell and Darren Mattocks.
