Pro League star leads TT attack in Costa Rica

Joe Public striker Andre Toussaint and Vibe CT 105 W Connection’s Kendall Davis will lead  Trinidad and Tobago’s attack in the friendly international against Costa Rica today at the at the Stadium Eladio Rosabal Cordero from 8 pm (10 pm TT time).

Both country’s Under-23 teams are preparing for upcoming Olympic qualifiers and coach Stuart Charles- Fevrier will be taking nothing lightly ahead of his dates with the Bahamas next month. Fevrier has opted for Toussaint, the 2002 Pro League’s “Most Valuable Player” and Davis, both with senior international experience, to lead up front with CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh’s Devon Mitchell. Senior team midfielder Nigel Daniel and Josh Johnson will also feature in the starting team. TT settled in well in Heredia after arriving from Piarco at around midnight on Monday and were expected to have a session at the match venue yesterday evening. Charles- Fevrier had an indoor session with the players earlier yesterday. “We had a theoretical session earlier on today and we’ve settled nicely here so far. The conditions are a  bit cooler than back home and we are looking forward to the match which I expect to be a keenly contested one,” Charles-Fevrier said yesterday.

“We will be starting with our strongest possible team at this time despite the fact that we are without a few players. I am expecting good things from this team. Most of the guys will be playing their biggest match at this level so far because we know Costa Rica are considered among the top nations in the CONCACAF region. They are  a World Cup country. Naturally some of our players may be nervous but we are here to get over these things, to gain the experience and to match our abilities. I am anticipating the match to see how we fare against such a team away from home,” Charles-Fevrier added. Midfielders Silvio Spann, goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams, defender Kenwyne Jones and Scottish-based striker Colin Samuel are all missing this encounter due to overseas commitments. TT starting line up —- Daurance Williams. Ronald Primus, Corey Rivers, Lyndon Diaz, Michael Celestine, Kevon Clement, Nigel Daniel, Josh Johnson, Andre Toussaint, Devon Mitchell and Kendall Davis.
