One of the most important players in the Trinidad and Tobago team is, without a doubt, the 32-years-old Marvin Andrews.

Unfortunately, he played for an entire year, against doctor’s reccomendation of not playing with a cruciate ligament injury. This means that it finally is getting to him and Leo Beenhakker expressed concern about this.

“Marvin wants to play and is proud to represent his country. But what I’ve seen here isn’t the Marvin I know. It’s just little things with his knee but he needs more time to recover.”

The big defender has won 97 caps for his country and would clearly be a significant loss to the team should he not prove his fitness in time. It is a prospect that Beenhakker is having to face.

“I can change a player who can’t participate because of injury right up until 24 hours before our first match,” said the Dutchman. “I’ll wait and hope he’ll recover in time and be in Germany with us.”
