Watford striker Marlon King has been thrown out of the Jamaica squad ahead of Saturday's international against England.

According to Jamaican Football Federation president Crenston Boxhill, 26-year-old King was "rude and unapologetic" after breaking a squad curfew.

England face the Jamaicans at Old Trafford on Saturday in the last World Cup warm-up match for Sven-Goran Eriksson's men.

Charlton's Jason Euell and Southend's Jamal Campbell-Ryce were also told to leave the squad but they have appealed that decision and are staying.

"There was more to it than just breaking curfew and coming late, Marlon King was rude, he was rude and unapologetic," Boxhill told Jamaican radio.

"In the discussion that the management team had with him, he was quite unapologetic, which was what really warranted him being expelled from the camp."

No further details of King's indiscretion have been revealed. He has been replaced in Jamaica's squad by Sheffield Wednesday striker Deon Burton.  PA
