Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has been dropped by Trinidad and Tobago for their next World Cup qualifier.
The national association did not explain the decision but Yorke, who was in trouble with United after failing to return to England on time following a World Cup qualifier, reportedly annoyed team officials after failing to show up in Panama for a friendly on Sunday.
Manager Neville Chance said Yorke had missed his flight from Miami to Panama but, rather than trying to get another flight, had returned home without alerting him.
Yorke met with the nation's soccer association yesterday and was then dropped for Saturday's game against Honduras - a must-win match for Trinidad, who are bottom of their group with one point after three matches.
Yorke, in Trinidad training with the team, was unavailable for comment.
