Pioneer Press: Calvo and Venegas to Leave MNUFC on International Duty

According to the Pioneer Press’ Andy Greder, defender Francisco Calvo and attacker Johan Venegas are expected to leave on Monday to join the Costa Rican national team. Costa Rica takes on Panama on June 8th and Trinidad and Tobago on June 13th in World Cup Qualifying. It has not yet been announced if United attacker Kevin Molino will join Trinidad and Tobago for their Qualifiers, though it seems likely.

The players’ exit comes at an interesting time for both players. Calvo has been a mainstay on the backline, having earned the captain’s armband after Vadim Demidov’s expensive fall from grace.
