Ful­ham's Eng­lish born strik­er, Bob­by Zamo­ra and Bolton Wan­der­ers de­fend­er, Jl­loyd Samuel, will not be part of the So­ca War­riors squad to take on El Sal­vador in their World Cup Qual­i­fi­er at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um to­mor­row at 7.30 pm. Man­ag­er of the War­riors, David Muhammed, speak­ing at a press con­fer­ence at the Crown Plaza In­ter­na­tion­al Ho­tel yes­ter­day, said Zamo­ra sus­tained an in­jury on Sat­ur­day while Samuel missed the dead­line to ar­rive in Lon­don and pick up his T&T pass­port.

He said Samuel was out of the coun­try on pre-sea­son train­ing and did not make it back in time. "Every­thing was put in place but he missed a dead­line to col­lect his Trinidad and To­ba­go pass­port on Fri­day. We could still have flown him in be­cause he want­ed to be part of the squad. How­ev­er the prob­lem with Jl­loyd is there is a manda­to­ry 72-hour pe­ri­od for the reg­is­tra­tion of a play­er with a pass­port num­ber and we could not reg­is­ter him if he did not have the pass­port," said Muhammed. Ja­son Scot­land, Sil­vio Spann, Mar­vin An­drews, Chris Bir­chall, Cor­nell Glen, Clay­ton Ince, Den­nis Lawrence and Dwight Yorke have joined Sun­der­land duo Car­los Ed­wards and Ken­wyne Jones as the over­seas based play­ers.

W Con­nec­tion play­er Hughton Hec­tor was the lone new face in the squad which en­joyed its first full prac­tice ses­sion last evening at the match venue. The team is ex­pect­ed to have its fi­nal ses­sion–a closed door prac­tice, to­day at the same venue. The El Sal­vador team which ar­rived on Sun­day, had two ses­sions at the Mar­vin Lee and Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­dia yes­ter­day. T&T, cur­rent­ly at the bot­tom of the stand­ings with two points, will be seek­ing full points to draw lev­el with their op­po­nents, who present­ly have five points.
