Kasey Palmer endured a disappointing week with Jamaica as they were knocked out of the Concacaf Nations League in the quarter-final by holders USA.

Palmer played 58 minutes in a 1-0 loss in the first leg on Friday and was an unused substitute in a 4-2 defeat in the return leg on Tuesday.

Gustavo Puerta was called up to the squad for Colombia's World Cup qualifiers but did not feature in the 3-2 defeat in Uruguay or 1-0 loss at home to Ecuador.

Those results leave Colombia fourth in the South American qualifying standings with 19 points and six games remaining.

The top six teams will automatically qualify for the tournament in 2026, with the side in seventh reaching the inter-confederation play-offs.

Hull City travel to fellow Championship strugglers Luton Town on Saturday afternoon, looking for their first win in eight games to move them up from 19th.
