Fulham captain Robinson has expressed concern about facing a particular Arsenal player in their upcoming match. Previously, this player had caused them significant trouble, and when news of his injury surfaced, there was relief in the Fulham camp, believing he would miss the game. However, recent training photos have confirmed his return, bringing fresh anxiety for Robinson ahead of the match. Surprisingly, the player in question is not Bukayo Saka but another key figure in the Arsenal squad.
Meanwhile, Mason Greenwood has opened up about his struggles since leaving Manchester United. He admitted that he has not felt the same since departing his boyhood club and deeply desires a return. However, he feels that the fanbase is making it challenging for him to make a comeback. His comments in a recent interview have reignited discussions about his future and whether a return to Old Trafford is truly possible.
Greenwood has also made headlines for finalizing his decision to switch international allegiances from England to Jamaica. Since he qualifies through his paternal grandparents, FIFA rules allow him to make the switch, given that he had only played once in a competitive fixture for England. His sole appearance for the Three Lions came in a Nations League match against Iceland in 2020 under Gareth Southgate.
At the time, FIFA’s rules would have permanently tied Greenwood to England, but a revision in regulations soon after his debut made it possible for players under 21 with fewer than four appearances to change their national team. The mandatory three-year waiting period ended in September 2023, and reports now confirm that Greenwood has officially opted to represent Jamaica.
The English Football Association has reportedly informed Greenwood that he would not be considered for selection in the future. This decision follows his suspension from Manchester United in early 2022 after his arrest on serious charges. Though the allegations were later dropped, his career with the club remained in doubt, leading to a loan move to Getafe before a permanent transfer to Marseille.
Greenwood’s legal troubles had a significant impact on his career, but he has been working towards a fresh start. After a season on loan in Spain, he secured a permanent move to France, where he aims to rebuild his reputation. Now, switching national teams further signals a new chapter in his football journey.
Interestingly, Greenwood’s decision aligns with the appointment of former Manchester United assistant coach Steve McClaren as Jamaica’s head coach. McClaren, who worked with Greenwood at United, had previously spoken with him about his career direction before both left the club. Their paths have now crossed again as they set their sights on achieving success with Jamaica’s national team.
With Greenwood now fully committed to his new international career, all eyes will be on how he performs for Jamaica. His talent remains undeniable, and this move presents him with an opportunity to re-establish himself on the international stage. Whether he can fulfill his potential and put the past behind him remains to be seen.
