Preliminary Roster Announced, Benny comes in
Preliminary Roster Announced, Benny comes in
The Trinidad and Tobago Provisional Roster, along with all other participation nations, for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup was announced by the Confederation on Thursday.
The T&T squad, under head coach Angus Eve, will face Guadeloupe in its opening Gold Cup preliminary match on June 16th at DRV PNK Stadium, Fort Lauderdale. Before that, T&T will come up against Guatemala in an International Friendly on Sunday June 11th at the Subaru Park, Pennsylvania.
The TTFA wishes to advise that there has been one change to the T&T preliminary Gold Cup roster. Greece-based professional Judah Garcia has sustained a hamstring injury and has been ruled out of the upcoming matches. He has been replaced by AC Port of Spain’s Che Benny. The request for the change was made to Concacaf on medical grounds and has been finalized.
“We’ve had to make one change to the provisional squad because Judah sustained a hamstring injury. We’ve been monitoring all the home-based and overseas-based players over the past few months and Che has been among the players we have been observing. He missed out on making the original roster because of the tight competition among players for the position he plays. But with Judah now ruled out, we’ve decided to include Che as his replacement,” Head Coach Angus Eve stated.
Eve will address the media next Thursday at a Press Briefing at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium prior to the team’s departure for Pennsylvania on Friday.
