Sunderland's Yorke to put country before club

Dwight Yorke has put himself on collision course with Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia by insisting he will take a full part in the build-up to Trinidad and Tobago's World Cup qualifiers next month. The two fixtures on March 28th and April 1st come at a critical point in the Premiership season.

"I've already made my mind up and I've passed the message on that I will be with the team going into the next match," Yorke told Trinidad and Tobago's official website, ttffonline.com.

"It's important that as captain that I'm around and can train with the boys and get myself ready for the matches after that as well."
