After missing Trinidad and Tobago’s Concacaf Nations League campaign in October due to injury, midfielder Nathaniel James has returned to the squad ahead of the Senior Men’s Football Team’s Concacaf Nations League Play-In first leg against Antigua and Barbuda on Thursday.
A victory for T&T over the course of the two-legged clash would see them advance to the Concacaf Gold Cup Prelims.
James said, “It feels good. I’m happy to be here, happy to be back with the team. You know it was a difficult pill to swallow for me for the last time, and I got the injury and I was on for four to six weeks, you know, but now I’m better, feel better, stronger, so I’m just happy to be here and happy to represent. It’s really, really important. Antigua team, they’re definitely going to feel like they have the chance to win against us. They’re home, they’re going to run, and they’re going to work. We just have to be ready on the day. Whoever wants it more on the day is the team that is going to come out on top.”
