Goalkeeper Kemar Foster of Waterhouse has been called up as a late replacement for Coniah Boyce-Clarke of Reading for Sunday's CONCACAF Nations League match against Mexico at the Azteca Stadium.

Boyce-Clarke, the national Under 20 goalkeeper, was included in the 23-man squad, but was unable to take up the invitation due to personal reasons.

Foster has now joined Amal Knight and Jahmali Waite as the three goalkeepers in the squad.

Foster's inclusion makes him the fourth local-based player in the squad, joining defender Richard King of Cavalier and striker Trivante Stewart and midfielder Demario Phillips, both of Mount Pleasant Football Club.

There could also be limited space for local-based players going forward, according to coach Heimir Hallgrimsson.

The Jamaicans will go into Sunday's game knowing that only a win can take them beyond the group stage. Coach Hallgrimsson says he has done his homework on the Mexicans and is aware of what to expect in the Azteca.
