Keane urges Yorke to find right balance

SUNDERLAND striker Dwight Yorke is facing a club-versus-country dilemma as manager Roy Keane attempts to protect him.

The 34-year-old has been called up for Trinidad and Tobago’s friendlies against Nicaragua and Panama next month.

“I will never begrudge a player the chance to play for his country, but it is getting the balance right,” said Keane. “He has come to a new club here, he is looking to settle in and is still looking for that bit of match sharpness.

“Dwight has said it is a transitional period over there and they are looking to use his experience. I have not got a problem with that, but I think he has got to be fair to everyone and fair to himself.”
