Jlloyd Samuel of English Premiership club Aston Villa seems destined to be the second English-born player to have his hopes of representing T&T at the World Cup Finals in Germany ruled out by FIFA.
Earlier this week the T&TFF was informed by Fifa that West Ham United striker Bobby Zamora, whose father was born in Carenage, did not qualify to play for T&T, having represented England at Under-18 and Under-21 level.
Asked about the latest developments on Samuel, team manager Bruce Aanensen said the legal people at Fifa have turned down the application for Samuel to represent the Warriors.
He said the Federation was now going to the appeals committee.
We are expecting a reply by the end of this month, but based on the information we have been receiving, Samuel like Zamora did not utilised the one-year window given by Fifa when a reversal of his status could have been possible, so he may very well be disqualified from representing T&T.”

In the meantime, national coach Leo Beenhakker is said to have turned his attention to Ricky Shakes      who represented Holland at either the last Under-17 or Under-20 World Cup and Nigerian-born Oliver Sunday, who was born to a Tobago-father and Nigerian mother.
Lincoln Phillips, technical director of the T&TFF has also requested that the trio of former St Anthony’s College players Julius James, Kevon Neaves and Yohance Marshall, all based at US-Colleges train with the national team in addition to national Under-20 goalkeeper Thorne Holder.
James is attached to the University of Connecticut, while Neaves attends the University of South Florida.

Boy dat team might be more different than ah thought come June. Ah just hope dem men who get we here step up and maintain their spots and d added competition for positions benefits us in the long run. A lil more options up front and a true left winger wouldn't hurt though.
