This helps T&T.
Marquez out of T&T match, Taken from Reuters June 7th, 2005.
Mexico defender Rafael Marquez has been ruled out of Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago with a groin strain.
Team doctor Jose Luis Serrano said the Barcelona player would be sidelined for eight to 10 days after suffering the injury during Saturday's 2-0 win away to Guatemala.
"The idea is that he will recover in time for the Confederations Cup," Serrano told the Mexican Football Federation's official website.
Mexico, who face the Caribbean islanders in the northern city of Monterrey, lead the final stage of the CONCACAF qualifying competition with 10 points from four games.
Trinidad and Tobago, who have never qualified for a World Cup, have four points.
Lavolpe wary of T&T threat - Press Association, 6th June 2005.
Mexico coach Ricardo Lavolpe has warned his side against underestimating the threat of Trinidad & Tobago when the two nations meet in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier in Monterrey.
Mexico are firm favourites going into the clash as they are top of the CONCACAF standings with 10 points, six points clear of fourth-placed Trinidad & Tobago.
Mexico have also gone 17 successive World Cup qualifiers without defeat but Lavolpe is still remaining wary of a Trinidad & Tobago side that claimed their first win of the campaign on Saturday with a 2-0 triumph over Panama.
"It's a very important match and we will work to get the three points. In modern football there are no easy opponents, everyone is difficult, so we are going to face Trinidad and Tobago with responsibility," the Argentinian-born Lavolpe said.
