Report: Kemar Lawrence out of Copa America Centenario

Just a whisper, for now.

At the time of writing, there was no official description of the severity or consequence of the injury that forced Kemar Lawrence out of Jamaica's 1-0 loss to Venezuela in Copa America, beyond the well-reported post-match news snippet provided by Reggae Boyz assistant coach Miguel Coley:

Word in the Jamaica press conference is a "slight groin tear" for Kemar Lawrence. Doctor will further assess in coming days.

But there is suggestion that Lawrence's injury status has now been determined:

Kemar "Taxi" Lawrence is out of Copa America.
