Lambert receives the call-up for Jamaica as the team prepares to face the British Virgin Islands and Guatemala. Since debuting in 2017, Lambert has made 27 caps for the Reggae Boyz. He has played every minute for SAFC this season, scoring two goals and captaining the squad on three occasions.

Chol is set to join the South Sudan National Team for its AFCON qualifiers. The forward has scored two goals in seven matches since joining San Antonio in April. South Sudan will open its qualifying slate against Togo before taking on Sudan.

Mohamed Omar received his first international call-up for Somalia, while Trova Boni was named for selection for Burkina Faso. Omar and Boni both withdrew from their respective groups due to injury.
