Hart to announce squad tomorrow

Molino was dropped by Hart for the October 11 Caribbean Cup qualifier away to Martinique — to qualify automatically for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup — for his second breach of team curfew.

The 26-year-old Orlando City SC midfielder subsequently announced his desire to take a year-long sabbatical from international future, a plan he quashed a week later.

Nonetheless, Hart stated in a telephone interview on Monday that he will have the final say whether or not Molino will be recalled to the team.

“It’s a decision that has been left with me,” said the TT coach.

“I’ll make that decision and everybody will find out about it when the squad is announced.” Concerning the technical staff’s preparations for the forthcoming qualifiers, Hart said, “things are fine.

I’ve been watching all the foreign-based and local (based) players that I think warrant selection.

And we have some players that have returned from their clubs early.

“We have them in training with various (local) clubs and with (TT team trainer) Tobias Ottley,” Hart continued. “From that standpoint, things are going well.” Hart, as is his custom, will be announcing a squad of 23 players, inclusive of three goalkeepers.

“You don’t want something to happen and you’re stuck away with just one goalkeeper (in reserve),” he noted.

Team captain Kenwyne Jones suffered a minor ligament tear to his knee against Martinique.

But Hart admitted that Jones has returned to full training with his loan club Central FC, though his parent club Atlanta United sent a special training programme for the 32-year-old striker.

Asked about the latest with English-born midfielder John Bostock, who is yet to be given clearance by FIFA to switch allegiances and represent the national squad, Hart said, “it’s with FIFA.” He stated, “we have sent in everything that FIFA has requested.

And we are just waiting for some kind of word from FIFA.”
