PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) -- Trinidad and Tobago finalized its 23-player World Cup roster, cutting midfielder Anthony Rougier on Friday.
Coach Leo Beenhakker invited Rougier back to the national team in January but decided to cut him loose following Wednesday's 1-1 tie against Peru.
''The guy worked fantastically and he did everything he had to do to try and make it and in the end I had to make a decision,'' Beenhakker said.
Beenhakker also invited German-based winger Evans Wise to join the team in case forward Cornell Glen does not recover from a hamstring injury.
Trinidad and Tobago will play in Group B with England, Sweden and Paraguay at the World Cup. The Trinidadians will face Wales, Slovenia and the Czech Republic in friendlies before the tournament begins.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Kelvin Jack (Dundee), Shaka Hislop (West Ham United), Clayton Ince (Coventry City).
Defenders: Dennis Lawrence (Wrexham), Cyd Gray (CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh), Marvin Andrews (Glasgow Rangers), Brent Sancho (Gillingham), Ian Cox (Gillingham), Atiba Charles (W Connection), Avery John (New England Revolution).
Midfielders: Silvio Spann (unattached), Chris Birchall (Port Vale), Aurtis Whitley (CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh), Evans Wise (Waldhof Mannheim), Densill Theobald (Falkirk), Carlos Edwards (Luton Town), Russell Latapy (Falkirk).
