Carlisle United defender Terell Thomas is out of the trip to Bromley - after receiving his latest international call-up.

The defender is joining up with the Saint Lucia squad for their clash with Curacao next Monday.

Thomas is suspended for the first of the country's CONCACAF Nations League double-header against Grenada on Friday, having been sent off in his last Piton Boyz outing.

But he can play in Monday's game, meaning he misses the Cumbrians' game at Bromley in League Two, while Thomas was also not involved in Tuesday's Bristol Street Motors Trophy trip to Morecambe.

It will force head coach Mike Williamson into another change for the game against the Ravens on Saturday.

Ben Barclay, United's substitute matchwinner at Salford City on Saturday, will be a strong candidate to come into the side in Thomas' place.

Alternatively Jon Mellish could return to central defence having started at wing-back in Saturday's 1-0 win.

Thomas, Saint Lucia's captain under head coach Stern John, missed United's 4-0 defeat at AFC Wimbledon in October following his previous call-up.

The 29-year-old summer signing from Charlton Athletic played in their 2-1 win over Saint Martin and a 4-0 defeat to the same opponents, being red carded for a two bookable offences in the latter game.

Thomas has played a strong role in United's last two resilient performances, which included an impressive showing in the FA Cup first round tie against Wigan Athletic when ten-man Carlisle took the League One side to extra-time.

Williamson will also be without Harrison Neal at Bromley with the midfielder set to serve a one-game suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season at Salford. He joins Ethan Robson on the sidelines, the latter one game into a three-match ban.
