TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
Trinidad & Tobago’s key players: Telfer, Powder, David...
We look at three of the country’s best players ahead of their clash with the USA.
Trinidad & Tobago are currently preparing to take on the USMNT and we take a look at three of their key men ahead of Thursday’s game.
Trinidad & Tobago’s key men
Ryan Telfer
The 29-year-old left-winger made his international debut in 2019 and has scored eight times in 22 appearances for his country.
Telfer can play anywhere along the left flank, at left-back, left-midfield and left-wing.
At club level, he plies his trade with USLC side Miami FC, where his current deal expires at the end of this month.
Noah Powder
Powder is a left-back and plays for USL1 club Hailstorm FC. The 25-year-old represented his country at U17 and U20 level before going on to make 16 appearances at senior level.
He is the brother of Real Salt Lake Academy player Seth Powder.
Aubrey David
Trinidad and Tobago’s captain has 73 international caps to his name.
The experienced defender, 33, can play anywhere across the back four but is most comfortable at centre-back, where he is likely to come up against Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi on Thursday.
