ENGLAND star Tyrick Mitchell could reportedly switch his international allegiance despite playing twice for the Three Lions.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Crystal Palace defender featured in friendlies against Switzerland and Cote d'Ivoire.<\/p>\n But he was last called up by Gareth Southgate in March 2022 and could decide to turn his back on England.<\/p>\n That's because he has been offered the chance to play for Jamaica, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n Mitchell, 24, is believed to be considering the switch, which he is free to do as he has only appeared for the Three Lions in friendlies.<\/p>\n Jamaica have lured the likes of Michail Antonio, Ethan Pinnock and Demarai Gray to their ranks in recent years – the trio were all born in England.<\/p>\n Mitchell was left out of Southgate's England squad to face Australia and Italy, which was announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n It is a blow for the Palace star as no natural left-back made the cut with Ben Chilwell and Luke Shaw injured.<\/p>\n That means Southgate will likely opt for Kieran Trippier to play out of position rather than call on Mitchell.<\/p>\n Chelsea star Levi Colwill is another option with the youngster featuring at left-back under Mauricio Pochettino this season, though his natural position is in central defence.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n John Stones has been welcomed back to the England squad following injury – he is one of eight defenders selected.<\/p>\n Jarrow Bowen also returns, as does Ollie Watkins whose last cap, like Mitchell, came against Cote d'Ivoire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
