Coach of the national team, Dr Dean Weatherly, told Sporting World yesterday that Thomas has being left off the squad that will face the Trinidadians in a home-and-away series and thus was free to rejoin his school team.
Clement Radcliffe, headmaster of the May Pen school, had said earlier this week he would be lodging an appeal to the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) to have the team's top player released for today's game.
Radcliffe, who is also the president of ISSA, said they had put contingency plans in place to fly the player from their national team base in Kingston to Montego Bay for the game at Jarrett Park and back to Kingston.
Thomas is the leading goalscorer still left in the competition with five goals since the start of the Inter-Zone round when ISSA starts keeping an official tally of goals.
