Rapids defender Mekeil Williams waiting for P1 visa to arrive in mail in Trinidad

COMMERCE CITY — The Colorado Rapids are without defender Mekeil Williams who remained in Trinidad and Tobago after last week's World Cup qualifying match due to a visa issue.

"We're still trying to figure out his visa issues," Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni said Thursday.

The Rapids said there was a small administrative delay in getting Williams' P1 visa.

Williams was called up to Trinidad and Tobago's national team during the March 21-29 FIFA window. Williams played 90 minutes as a midfielder in a 6-0 win over St. Vincent and the Grenadines on March 29.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defender missed the Rapids April 2 game against Toronto FC.
