Dimitri Cavare turned down the chance to play for Guadeloupe during the international break which has just finished.
The Barnsley right-back was born in the Caribbean island, which is owned by France but has its own team. If he had played for Guadeloupe, the Reds could have called off their home game against Luton Town, which they won 3-2 on Saturday.
Coach Andreas Winkler said: “He could have played for Guadeloupe but he didn’t go. I am very happy and it shows how important Barnsley FC is for Dimi. He played very well against Luton, better than in the previous matches and more like he played in the first six or seven matches.”
