West Brom Players Experience Varied International Outcomes

West Bromwich Albion players encountered a range of results while on international duty on Thursday. Mason Holgate was issued a red card as Jamaica suffered a 1-0 defeat against the USA in the first leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final, which took place in Kingston. Holgate, who also saw an attempt cleared off the line by Yunus Musah, was sent off after 86 minutes upon receiving a second yellow card. This loss, Jamaica’s first in five games under Steve McClaren, also marked Mauricio Pochettino’s initial competitive victory for the USA. Consequently, on-loan Baggies player Holgate will be suspended for Tuesday’s return leg. In more positive news, his defensive colleague Torbjorn Heggem made his debut for Norway, playing 87 minutes in their 4-1 Nations League success in Slovenia. Elsewhere, wide-man Mikey Johnston set up the winning goal for the Republic of Ireland in their 1-0 home triumph over Finland in Dublin, while Albion team-mate Jayson Molumby entered the game from the bench for the final 14 minutes for the hosts.
