THE BIGGER PICTURE
Greenwood qualified to represent The Reggae Boyz through his father, who was born in the Caribbean nation. Also, his only appearance for the Three Lions came when he was still under the age of 21 in 2020, which allows him to switch allegiances as per FIFA rules. The 23-year-old's international career has been in limbo since he was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault in January 2022. He was later charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but all charges against him were dropped in February 2023.
