Leon Bailey’s Instagram Still Disabled Ahead of Crucial National Matches
Reggae Boy and Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey‘s Instagram account mysteriously disappeared from the platform about a month ago. A new search for the page, which boasts over 888,000 followers, returns the message: “Sorry, this page isn’t available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.”
The timing of the disappearance has raised eyebrows, coming amid ongoing transfer rumours linking Bailey to a £50+ million move to Saudi Arabian Pro League club Neom SC. It remains unclear whether the deactivation was intentional or temporary, possibly aimed at minimizing distractions ahead of key national team fixtures.
Bailey, 27, is currently in camp with the Jamaican national team, preparing for two upcoming matches as part of their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign—facing the British Virgin Islands on June 7 and Guatemala on June 10. Some fans and analysts speculate the social media break may be a sign of Bailey focusing on football after a challenging club season.
In the 2024/25 season, Bailey registered two goals and seven assists in 38 appearances across all competitions for Aston Villa—numbers that fell short of expectations following his previous strong performances.
Bailey who played his first match for Jamaica in 2019 has played a total of 34 games so far, he scored 6 goals and 6 assists.
Despite the absence from Instagram, Bailey’s X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook accounts remain active.
Whether this is a brief hiatus or part of a bigger career decision, all eyes remain on Bailey—both for his next club move and his role in Jamaica’s journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
