It sounds like Darryl & Osei are both injured right now. But it wouldn't make much of a difference based on the troubles the T&T National Team is having:

Carlos Edwards, Dennis Lawrence, Clayton Ince and Jason Scotland have pulled out of Trinidad and Tobago's national squad for the June 6-24 CONCACAF Gold Cup in solidarity with their fellow-World Cup players who have been blacklisted by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (T&TFF).
When the national team went into camp yesterday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, none of the invited Britain-based players, including Scotland, Ince, Edwards and Lawrence, showed up.
T&T head coach Wim Rijsbergen said once they have not shown up, he assumes they have stood in solidarity with their teammates. Rijsbergen also said Osei Telesford, the Chicago Fire defender, and Darryl Roberts, the Sparta Rotherdam striker, are both injured and may also be unavailable.
“It’s not a good situation because we need to go to the Gold Cup with the best team possible as we look to the World Cup qualifiers.Click Here for Full Story
“And maybe we may have to make a few more changes because Osei Telesford (Chicago Fire) returned home with an injury and news coming out of Holland is Darryl Roberts (Sparta Rotterdam) is also injured,” said Rijsbergen.
