Home-based training camp for Senior Men

Trinidad and Tobago Head Coach Angus Eve has called up a 35-man Training Squad, comprising mostly of home-based players for a training camp from February 5-8 at the Larry Gomes Stadium.

This camp will serve as part of preparations for the upcoming Copa America Play-In versus Canada which takes place in Frisco, Texas on March.

Several members of the squad which made it through to the Concacaf Nations League quarter finals are in the mix including goalkeeper Denzil Smith, Justin Garcia,Real Gill, Kevon Goddard Reon Moore,Duane Muckette, Michel Poon-Angeron, Ross Russell jr, Alvin Jones and Christopher Biggette.

There is a recall for the likes of John-Paul Rochford, Andrian Foncette, Kaihim Thomas, Brent Sam, Jamal Jack and Isaiah Lee.

There are first time invitation for German-born Keenon Erfuth whose mother is Trinidadian and Denmark-based Marc Gangia who is eligible for T&T through his father. Gangia is a 26-year-old forward with Dalum IF. Erfuth meantime is a 21-year-old forward with VfR Neumünster, a German association football club based in Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein.

Eve is keen to get back on the training pitch for the first time since the 2-1 victory over the US in the Nations League last November.

“It’s a great chance for us to get some of the guys together as group again because as you would have seen, the majority of them would have returned to their clubs and have been very active in the local league since November,” Eve told TTFA Media.

“There are few regulars in this squad but we also took the opportunity to invite some players who we believe have been showing up and performing for their clubs in the Local Premier League.

“There is a lot of international football coming up with the Copa America qualifier being the most urgent assignment but of course there are the World Cup qualifiers following soon after in June. These sort of windows where we can have some time with the players available are extremely important for us.”
