Report: Jamaica's Kemar Lawrence out of Copa America Centenario, needs to be "more professional" says Coach Schaefer

Confirmation of an earlier report from Jamaica's Copa America camp: Kemar Lawrence will not take any further part in the tournament.

The Jamaica Observer's Ian Burnett provides a detailed account of the player's groin injury, and the news that injuries of the type Lawrence has sustained are estimated to take four to six weeks to heal.

In a separate piece, Burnett - who is with the Reggae Boyz for the duration of their tournament - notes head coach Winfried Schaefer's irritation with Lawrence's management of the injury:

I don’t want to knock my players, but Kemar has to be a little more professional.
