It’s back to work for Trinidad and Tobago’s national senior team as they resume training at the Hasely Crawford Stadium from 5 p.m. today in preparation for Saturday’s 2010 World Cup Qualifying match away to Costa Rica in San Jose.

T&T coach Russell Latapy will conduct two sessions on local soil before the team depart for Central America on Wednesday afternoon. Latapy has also made a couple changes from his original 22-man squad.

Fulham striker Bobby Zamora is no longer on the list and has been replaced by national Under-20 striker Juma Clarence, who was the scorer of T&T’s goal in their 2-1 loss to Italy at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Egypt. And W Connection midfielder Clyde Leon replaces Wigan Athletic’s Jason Scotland, who is unable to return for the encounter.

The five Trinidad and Tobago Under-20 players in the senior squad are Leston Paul, goalkeeper Glenroy Samuel, Jake Thomson, Robert Primus and Clarence.

W Connection’s Shahdon Winchester has also been invited to join the team.

’It appears that Bobby Zamora is injured once again and as such he is no longer on our list of invitees. We will have two sessions here before we head over to San Jose,’ team manager David Muhammad told Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) media officer Shaun Fuentes.

Latapy maintains that the Soca Warriors do not intend to lie down in their closing matches against Costa Rica and at home to Mexico on October 14.

’I expect every player to go in there and work hard every time they put on the jersey to demonstrate pride on the pitch,’ he said in a fifa.com article.

’It’s about national pride at this point. It’s also about football. All of the lads in our dressing room are professionals, so we are inspired by two kinds of pride--national pride and professional pride, and they’re both powerful,’ stated Latapy.

’So although we’re out, we know that every single game we play we’re going to try to win it, and that’s what we will continue to do. I think we need to become more ruthless in finishing games off and we have to take our opportunities. We have to make our dominance into winning performances,’ Latapy added.
