National players Ricardo Fuller as well as Damar and Damion Stewart have been fined two-thirds of their match fees for the crucial world cup qualifier against Mexico at the national stadium Saturday.
This follows an altercation involving the three players during a training session at the match venue Thursday night.
Meanwhile fuller has donated the remainder of his match fee to the funds set up to honour deceased players Peter Cargill and Steve 'shorty' Malcolm who both lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents.
Meanwhile, the Reggae Boyz will put behind them last nights altercation and the dismissal of Rene Simoes and try to revive their hopes of reaching the Concacaf final round with victory over Mexico at the National Stadium.
With just a point, the Jamaicans must win all 3 remaining games to be played at the office to have a chance of progressing in a bid to begin the mission of collecting 9 points.
Interim coach Theodore Whitmore have put faith in 18 overseas based players 10 of which were not used by Simoes.
Whitmore is urging his players to stick to their specific roles at game time.
Whitmore says players should take a leaf from Jamaica's '98 world cup team on which he had a specific role as an attacking player.
The Mexicans with 9 points are very much aware that a win Saturday would be enough to assure them of a place in the final round.
Should Jamaica lose Honduras with 6 points will also assume a place in the next round with victory over Canada in San Pedro Sula.
The Canadians are also on one point the United States and Costa Rica could also confirm their place in the final round Saturday.
The Americans with 9 points will host Cuba in Washington in group 1 which will also see Guatemala hosting Trinidad and Tobago.
Both teams are on 4 points Group C leaders Costa Rica will play away to Suriname in Paramaribo while second placed El Salvador opposes Haiti.

Can't see Damion fighting, always seemed like a friendly giant.
