Gilbert Gets First TT Start in Honduras Clash

Exciting News for T&T Football Fans

T&T's young and talented goalkeeper, Nicklas Gilbert, is set to make his international debut for the Soca Warriors in their upcoming friendly match against Honduras on Saturday, March 25th. The 21-year-old shot-stopper has been in impressive form for his club team, Caledonia AIA, and has earned the nod from head coach Angus Eve to start between the sticks in San Pedro Sula.

A Well-Deserved Opportunity

Gilbert has been a standout performer for Caledonia AIA in the Trinidad and Tobago Super League this season, keeping six clean sheets in his first nine appearances. His agility, shot-stopping ability, and composure under pressure have caught the eye of Eve, who believes the youngster is ready to make the step up to the international stage.

Gilbert's inclusion in the squad is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has been a regular member of T&T's youth teams and has impressed at every level. The friendly against Honduras will provide him with a valuable opportunity to showcase his talent and stake his claim for a regular spot in the Soca Warriors' squad.

A Tough Test for T&T

Honduras will be a tough test for T&T, who are currently ranked 104th in the FIFA World Rankings, 25 places below their opponents. The Central American nation has a proud footballing tradition and boasts several players who ply their trade in Europe, including Alberth Elis and Anthony Lozano.

Eve will be hoping that Gilbert can produce a solid performance against Honduras and help T&T secure a positive result. The match will be a good opportunity for the Soca Warriors to assess their progress ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which will be held in the United States in June.
