Roger Espinoza, suffered a muscular overload and did not complete the training. The doctor Raul Perez suggested that the player receive hydrotherapy and complete rest to avoid something worse. The rest of the team, including some of its major players such as Wilson Palacios, Maynor Figueroa, Marvin Chavez and Victor Bernardez Muma, trained at a fast pace. Players do not want to emphasize the rival to be measured.

“The work of the players is on the field and the way we play. We can go to South Africa or wherever you send us, we just have to play. No matter what rival we face, we must ask who is responsible, “the Honduras goalkeeper Noel Valladares said.

The Honduras Selection will have new faces for this meeting, as Marvin Chavez, San Jose Earthquakes midfielder in the US MLS, who has had a great performance with his team.

Osman Chavez is another in the process of returning after missing the qualifying matches against Panama and Canada, where we got only 1 point against the visiting Canadians.

Everything is ready for this match. Though Luis Fernando Suarez is not happy with the rival, he expects to take advantage of it.
