Fresh additions to the squad
Among the latest arrivals are Warren Moss, Horace Avila, Moises Hernandez, Jaylen Lennan, and Desmond Wade, who have now integrated into the team’s preparations. Additionally, Eugene ‘Pelé’ Martinez is expected to arrive on Thursday, while Carlos Bernardez, traveling from Honduras, should be in camp by Friday.
