Loza in line for Boyz debut - National team makes three changes ahead of Egypt clash

Jamar Loza

Norwich City striker Jamar Loza is in line for a debut for Jamaica's Reggae Boyz, having been called to the national squad ahead of the team's friendly international against Egypt on Wednesday.

Loza is expected to be one of three changes to the team, who went down 1-0 to World Cup-bound Switzerland on Friday, courtesy of a late Josip Drmic goal.

fresh off a red-hot season

Joining the 20-year-old forward will be Mobay United's Dino Williams, who is fresh off a red-hot season for the local Premier League champions, and former national Under-20 goalkeeper Ryan Thompson. The custodian, who currently plies his trade in the North American Soccer League, will join the team in camp today. The tricky frontman, who put in some eye-catching performances in the Norwich youth team last year, will be keen to make an impact, having expressed an interest in representing the team during Jamaica's failed World Cup qualification bid.

Reggae Boyz Demar Phillips, Darren Mattocks, Dwayne Miller and André Blake will all be returning to their respective clubs ahead of the match, which will take place at 2:00pm Jamaica time at Leyton Orient's Matchroom Stadium in London.
