Trinidad and Tobago have asked Town to release skipper Carlos Edwards for three Caribbean Football Union Cup qualifiers in November. The Blues are unlikely to allow the 34-year-old old to play in all of the games as two fall outside FIFA’s international window and would mean that Edwards, who has been capped 82 times by his country, scoring four goals, would miss Town’s game at Leicester City on Saturday 17th November.

The Soca Warriors play St Vincent and the Grenadines on Wednesday 14th November, a designated international date, but then take on Surinam on the Friday and Cuba on the Sunday, outside the window. All the matches take place in Bacolet, Tobago.

T&T interim coach Hutson Charles has confirmed that he has made a request to Town, but with the Blues in the position they are in is unlikely to be the winner of this particular club versus country tug of war and have Edwards available for the second two matches.

The top two teams in the four-team group go through to the Caribbean Football Union Cup finals which are being held in Antigua & Barbuda in December.

blues1 added 17:43 - Nov 4 swanseablue, ur spot on. turnng on individual players is moronic. but thats because the people on here who do it are morons.of course, rb isnt his best position, but he gives his all. yes, he does sometimes get caught out of position, tho on most occasions, because of his pace he manages to recover his mistakes. i can honestly say that in the games ive seen this season(all at home, a couple away), ive only seen him have 1 really bad game(sheff wed).agree with anyone that says we need a proper rb but to slag off a guy who always gives 100% is an indictment of how bad some of our fans really are.
