KINGSTON, Jamaica,  (CMC)-Jamaica has dropped all-time leading goal scorer Luton Shelton ahead of two important home games in CONCACAF world Cup qualifying scheduled for next week.

Shelton, who has scored 35 goals in 73 appearances in national colours, was not named in a 26-man squad for a ten day training camp in the Bahamas.
The camp was cut shortly after a warm-up game against Bahamas carded for Friday was cancelled.
“Luton Shelton was a decision by the coach to drop him,” Alfredo Montesso, Jamaica men’s senior team assistant coach.
“We have four strikers in the team, and that is enough. We have Ryan Johnson, Darren Mattocks, Theo Robinson and Jermaine Beckford.”
Since their return on Sunday the team has held a training session with only nine players at the Jamaica Football Federation Training Centre at the University of the West Indies.
Some of the overseas players who were in The Bahamas returned to their clubs for various reasons and are expected in Jamaica from Wednesday with the full squad expected to be available on Friday.
Jamaica tackle CONCACAF giants Mexico next Tuesday before taking on the United States of America next week Friday and Honduras in an away game on June 11.
“It is very important that we win those three games and get nine points,” Montesso said.
“We will go for a win against Mexico, as we did very well against them in the first game at the Azteca Stadium in February. We expect nothing but a win here”.
Meantime, long-time Reggae Boyz defenders Jermaine Taylor and Demar Phillips will miss next week’s World Cup Qualifiers because of injuries.
Taylor had a dislocated shoulder and was not named in the original squad, while Phillips pulled a hamstring.
Winger Dane Richards was also ruled out because of injury.
However, Germany-born Daniel Gordon, who plays in central defence and midfield, is expected to make his debut in Tuesday’s match.
The full squad is: Alvas Powell, Xavian Virgo, Jermaine Hue, Richard McCallum, O’Brian Woodbine, Damion Williams, Montrose Phinn, Jermie Lynch, Evan Taylor, Jermaine Johnson, Keammar Daley, André Blake, Daniel Gordon, Darren Mattocks, Rodolph Austin, Joel ‘Jobi’ McAnuff, Adrian Mariappa, Garath McLeary, Donovan Ricketts, Dwayne Miller, Theo Robinson, Marvin Elliott, Ryan Johnson and Jermaine Beckford
