An­tho­ny Wolfe, one of two sur­viv­ing mem­bers from the 2006 World Cup squad, is ex­pect­ed to be on the start­ing team to­day as T&T's So­ca War­riors meet Cu­ba in their open­ing Dig­i­cel Caribbean Cup en­counter at the Pierre Alik­er Sta­di­um in Dil­lon from 6 pm. Af­ter a lengthy lay off, Wolfe re­turned to the team for the pre­vi­ous three match­es of the Dig­i­cel Cup and al­though he is among play­ers cur­rent­ly locked in a court bat­tle over fi­nances with the Foot­ball Fed­er­a­tion, he is putting coun­try first and is ready to help the team cap­ture the re­gion­al ti­tle. "I think we are well pre­pared," Wolfe said on the eve of the match. "The team has shown that with hard work, any­thing is pos­si­ble. "The coach has been work­ing tire­less­ly with us to en­sure we get up to a cer­tain lev­el that will see us come through this tour­na­ment with vic­to­ry.

"A lot has been said about whether we have the play­ers to take our foot­ball back to the top and I would like to say I'm ho­n­oured to be play­ing again. I have some ex­pe­ri­ence from the 2006 cam­paign and I have been work­ing hard to re­gain my place and this is my chance to play a big role in see­ing the team be­come one of the best in Con­ca­caf," Wolfe added. Head coach Rus­sell Lat­apy has opt­ed for speedy MLS-based strik­er Cor­nell Glen in­stead of W Con­nec­tion mid­field­er Sil­vio Spann who has not played a full in­ter­na­tion­al or Pro League match in some months. Lat­apy said: "Once Cor­nell was de­clared fit and avail­able, it was a de­ci­sion based on that." Look­ing ahead to the clash, Lat­apy not­ed both teams will be com­ing out strong.

"No team wants to come up short in the open­ing match. We have our sights set on the Cup and I would like to be­lieve that once we pro­duce the foot­ball we are ca­pa­ble of do­ing, there's no rea­son why the re­sults shouldn't come our way." De­fend­ers Daniel Cyrus and Kern Cu­pid were re­cov­er­ing from a cou­ple knocks but are avail­able for se­lec­tion. T&T de­feat­ed Cu­ba 3-1 and 3-0 in their 2010 World Cup qual­i­fiers. The oth­er play­ers in the cur­rent side who were in­volved then in­clude Keon Daniel who scored three goals over the two meet­ings, as well as cap­tain Clyde Leon, Den­sill Theobald, Wolfe and Glen who al­so scored in the away 3-1 vic­to­ry back in 2008. Hosts Mar­tinique will face Grena­da in the sec­ond game of the dou­ble head­er from 8.30 pm.
