Sunderland boss Roy Keane hopes common sense prevails and that veteran midfielder Dwight Yorke is used sparingly by Trinidad & Tobago during their forthcoming internationals.

Keane became embroiled in a war or words with the Trinidad & Tobago federation's special advisor Jack Warner last month.

The Cats boss was branded 'callous' after recalling Yorke from international duty when the 36-year-old was expected to play a second international in quick succession.

Keane hit back at Warner after calling the vice-president of FIFA 'a clown', but this time the Irishman is hoping the Trinidadian authorities and Yorke himself exercise restraint over his international commitments.

He has already played for 45 minutes in a 9-0 rout of the Dominican Republic this week, while Trinidad & Tobago are now set to play two World Cup qualifiers in the next five days.

"It is out of our hands, but we hope Dwight and the manager over there will use some common sense," Keane told the club's official website.

"You've got to trust the player not to take any silly risks.

"Hopefully he will come back in good shape, ready to challenge for a place at Fulham."
