England manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Mason Greenwood is not in his plans for the national team. The 23-year-old Marseille forward has not been contacted by Tuchel or his staff, with the head coach stating that Greenwood is not under consideration.
Greenwood has been pursuing a switch of allegiance to Jamaica, obtaining a passport but not yet completing the change of association form. Jamaica manager Steve McClaren expressed disappointment that Greenwood is not ready to commit to the Caribbean nation, leaving the door open for a potential England return.
Tuchel said: 'I have not spoken to him until now. My understanding was that he tries to play for Jamaica so we didn’t give it another thought. He was not in the mix at the moment and he is not in our thoughts for our team.'
Greenwood has not played for England since his solitary senior cap in September 2020 against Iceland. He was later sent home with Phil Foden for breaching COVID-19 protocols. The forward scored 21 goals in Ligue 1 for Marseille last season and has one goal this campaign.
