PARANA, Brazil - Members of Jamaica's local-based Reggae Boyz, all eyeing a place in Rene Simoes' World Cup qualifying squad, will tackle Parana state's Second Division Operario in a practice game at 4:00 pm (2:00 pm Jamaica time) in Ponto Grosso today.
Two regulars in the team's three previous matches will be sidelined due to injury, though their conditions are not considered serious.

"I don't want to risk injury to any player, so I will not play Marco McDonald and Newton Sterling," Simoes said yesterday.
McDonald is said to be suffering from a thigh ailment, while the lanky Sterling is bothered by a shoulder complaint.
