REGGAE Boyz's number two shot-stopper Dwayne Miller is expecting to start in goal when Jamaica host Costa Rica in an International Friendly at the National Stadium this evening.

The former 23-year-old Harbour View goalkeeper who now plies his trade at Swedish club Syrianska FC, has fully recovered from a hamstring injury and is eager to build on his confidence.

"Right now I'm in good condition, so I just want to put it all out in the game on Sunday (today)," Miller, a likely starter in the absence of Donovan Ricketts, told the Sunday Observer on Friday after a scheduled training session at the National Stadium.

"I have now recovered from my injury and have been playing; and things are good so far. I just want to continue for the rest of the season in this game and also Tuesday (against Peru).

"It's just a part of the game and I just have to move on and learn from this experience.

"Any sort of injury is a setback, but I have gotten over that and looking forward to the games," said Miller, who was forced out of action for four weeks, missing seven club games in the process.

Miller is also looking forward to keeping a clean against the Costa Ricans, who are ranked 29 places below the Jamaicans on the FIFA list.

And with additional support in anticipation from supporters who are expected to be at 'The Office' in their thousands, Miller believes the prospects look good.

"It's always a good feeling to be back home," he said. "So we just want the fans to come out and support us and be the 12th man in the stand, and with that, I feel anything is possible."

Meantime, the young custodian from St Thomas has been in Sweden for seven months and is hoping his budding career will blossom and bear fruit in the near future.

"Well, as you know for any young footballer their dream is to play at the high level possible and also in the World Cup. Sunday is a part of that journey for me and hopefully we can give a good performance.. and come out victorious," he said.

He was, however, coy when asked about interest in him from other top European clubs since his arrival in Sweden, stating that: "My agent said things are looking good, but he just wants to me to concentrate on Syrianska."

Miller said he returns to Sweden on Thursday after the Reggae Boyz play the Peruvians on Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale, USA.
