JAMAICA and Aston Villa forward Leon Bailey is arguably the best player in the Concacaf region of international football, but as the Jamaica men’s team approached their Nations League semi-final with the United States on Thursday night, Bailey and several other stars were missing.

According to Jamaica coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, Bailey was dropped due to missing a curfew while with the squad during the previous international window in November.

But the Villa winger has since revealed that he has decided to step away from the national team.
