Jamaica’s Reggae Boys squad has been hit by a number of injuries ahead of their friendly international against Nigeria on Wednesday.
The game is scheduled for the New Den Stadium in London.
Affected by pre-season training injuries are Tyrone Marshall of the Toronto FC and goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts.
Ricketts aggravated an old finger injury in a pre-training session last week with his new club LA Galaxy.
Earlier, newcomer Darren Pratley of English championship club Swansea City withdrew because of a shoulder injury.
Captain Ricardo Fuller, who plays for Stoke City, could miss the rest of the season after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Sunderland on Saturday.
Another key player that is likely to miss the game is defender Ian Goodison, who could face a lengthy lay-off after suffering an ankle injury in a tackle recently in a League one encounter.
There is also a question mark over the fitness of defender Ricardo Gardener of Bolton Wanderers.
