King expelled from Jamaica squad for England friendly
06-02-2006

LONDON, England (Reuters): Jamaica striker Marlon King has been sent home from the squad for a breach of discipline, the team said in a statement on Thursday.

The 26-year-old has been replaced by Deon Burton in the squad for Saturday's friendly against England.

King's international team mates Jason Euell and Jamal Campbell-Ryce have also been fined 50 percent of their match fees.

Jamaican Football Federation president Crenston Boxhill said Watford's King had refused to apologise after breaking a squad curfew.

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