Leatherhead goalkeeper Chico Ramos did not feature for Cape Verde Islands last Friday as they lost their African Cup of Nations qualifier 1-0 to Liberia.
Ramos was called up for a training camp before the game for the first time but was not included in the squad, who still top their group despite the defeat to hold on to hopes of a place in the tournament.
Ramos will hope to be called up again when they face Mali in September.
