There had been suggestions that the 20-year-old was holding out for a call-up by England, but Bailey has pledged his allegiance to Jamaica and looks set to feature in their clash with Bonaire. Earlier this year, Bailey’s adopted father Craig Butler had fuelled rumours England could select him, telling The Sun: “England have made contact with us and there will be more discussions in the future.” However, it has since come to light that the Kingston-born Bailey was never eligible for the Three Lions, as he does not have a biological parent or grandparent who was born in England....

Costa could aid Bayern’s title push However, the arrival of Maurizio Sarri in the summer and the presence of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain has resulted in the Brazilian being relegated to the bench - the 29-year-old has made only 13 appearances for Juve this season....
