Reggae Boyz head coach Theodore Tappa Whitmore is making an urgent plea for potential local based international players to get the green light to go into training and to be competition tested.

This the Reggae Boyz are set to face the United States on March 25 in Austria.

According to coach Whitmore it will be almost impossible for the players to be match ready at the international level if they are not in competitive mode.

Whitmore also wants to see all outstanding issue including match remuneration to be settled long before the game against the US.

Meanwhile JFF President Michael Ricketts remains hopeful and optimistic that top flight football will resume in short order.
