SAINTS striker Ricardo Fuller has seen his chances of starting against England at Old Trafford tomorrow given a huge boost after Marlon King was excluded from the Jamaica squad for a breach of discipline.
The 26-year-old who scored 21 goals to guide Watford to promotion to the Premiership had been in the squad to face England in the final World Cup warm-up match.
King's international teammates Jason Euell and Jamal Campbell-Ryce were also fined 50 per cent of their match fees.
According to Jamaican Football Federation president Crenston Boxhill, King refused to apologise for breaking a squad curfew and was rude.
But in a club statement, Watford claim King left the Jamaica camp voluntarily because he was not satisfied with their build-up to tomorrow's game, the first between the two countries.
Fuller, 26, who scored nine goals in a disjointed last season for Saints, is now likely to lead the attack in Manchester alongside Euell.
