The Trinidad and Tobago national football team returned home yesterday after being delayed due to a scare on an American Airlines flight from San Jose on Thursday, following a 2-0 loss away to Costa Rica at the Ricardo Saprissa Stadium the night before.
The T&T Warriors' flight had to be diverted to another airfield in Costa Rica for an emergency landing after smoke was detected in the cabin of the plane.
After finally flying out of Costa Rica, the foreign-based T&T players, though, were forced to remain in Miami, USA, yesterday due to the incident, and those based in Great Britain will miss their club matches scheduled for today.
The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation have written to their respective clubs, explaining the situation.
