Former Wimbledon FC defender, Andy Clement, will serve as a physical trainer for the Jamaica national team ahead of its friendly international against the United States in Austria next Thursday.
Clement, who currently plies his trade with Mount Pleasant football club, will be forced to stand in after both the national team's regular trainers Lamar Morgan and Jason Henry did not make the tour. Henry was not able to travel with the team after reportedly not managing to secure a contract in time.
Clement was suited for the job as being an Englishman he does not need a Schengen visa to enter Europe. The team was originally expected to depart the island for the US this weekend, after completing a four-day training camp at the Horace Burrell Academy.
However, the JFF was forced to quickly alter plans after it was discovered that applications for travel to Austria had to be done in person at the current time. The delegation, as a result, hastily departed the island on Tuesday in order to meet a Wednesday morning appointment for Schengen visas at the Austrian Embassy, in the United States. The group was as a result without both a physical trainer and physiotherapist, important members of the support staff.
