00:00With the clock ticking down to the start of the final round of World Cup qualifiers,
00:04Dwight York will have a lot of tough decisions to make, but for now, he has named the 35-man
00:09professional squad ahead of the home and away matches against Curaçao and Jamaica.
00:14The squad will have to be trimmed down to 23 come next week, meaning the competition will
00:19be fierce to impress. Someone will have to replace Alvin Jones at least for the opening
00:24match as he serves his suspension. And Coach York will be without the services of attacker
00:28Ajani Fortune, who is still recovering from injury. Levi Garcia and skipper Kevin Molino
00:33are the two headlining the squad, but there are a host of others he can call on in Tyrese
00:38Spicer, Dante City, Rhea Gill, and Isaiah Leacock. Ryan Telford and Kylie Overy both get recalled,
00:44while England-born Coventry City striker Justin Ubiquo makes his return after debuting last
00:50year against Jamaica. There are two newcomers vying for spots in the defense as former presentation
00:55college standout Jaron Jackie gets the nod after impressing at Portuguese club Juvea.
01:01And 21-year-old Kobe Henry is the other. He plays in the MLS with Real Salt Lake, but is on loan from
01:07French club Rams. The talented defender is the son of former national team strength and conditioning
01:13coach Ken Henry. The squad is a mix of local and foreign base players, with defense force providing
01:19the bulk of the local contingent. The final squad will assemble in Port of Spain on Monday with one
01:25objective, and that's to start the campaign with a home victory over Curaçao. Terence Clark, TV6 Sport.
