Birmingham City striker Marlon King and Motherwell winger Chris Humphrey are left out of Jamaica's World Cup qualifiers after breaking curfew.

Birmingham City striker Marlon King and Motherwell winger Chris Humphrey have been snubbed from the Jamaica national team for disobeying curfews.

It has emerged that the duo will play no part in the side's World Cup qualifiers against Guatemala and Antigua & Barbuda after breaking disciplinary rules put in by the club.

The Jamaica Football Federation released a statement, which read: "The Jamaica Football Federation wishes to advise that head coach of the national senior team, Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore, has taken the decision to drop Marlon King and Chris Humphrey from the squad for the first two World Cup qualifying games for breaking curfew rules.

"This decision is consistent with the head coach's zero-tolerance approach for acts of indiscipline and indiscretion. The team has returned to its training base at Braco and will continue preparations for the opening World Cup qualifier on Friday, June 8 at 8.30pm at the National Stadium."

The governing body did not state whether the pair will be made available for selection for Jamaica's clash with the United States in September.
