Premier League stars included
Honduras have named their squad for the World Cup finals, including three Premier League stars.
As expected Tottenham's Wilson Palacios was included along with Wigan duo Maynor Figueroa and Hendry Thomas.
One blow for Honduras has been the news that former Birmingham striker Carlos Costly has been ruled out of the finals after breaking his foot.
His place in the squad has been taken by Georgie Welcome, who is preferred to Jerry Bengston - who is top scorer in the Honduran League.
Honduras will meet up in Germany this Friday for a training camp, before they move onto Austria where they will play friendlies against Belarus, South Korea and Azerbaijan.
Honduras squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Ricardo Canales (Motagua), Noel Valladares (Olimpia), Donis Escober (Olimpia).
Defenders: Victor Bernardez (Anderlecht), Maynor Figueroa (Wigan), Oscar Garcia (Olimpia), Sergio Mendoza (Motagua), Emilio Izaguirre (Motagua), Johnny Palacios (Olimpia), Mauricio Sabillon (Hangzhou Luchen), Osman Chavez (Platense).
Midfielders: Edgard Alvarez (Bari), Julio Cesar de Leon (Torino), Roger Espinoza (Kansas City Wizards), Amado Guevara (Motagua), Ramon Nunez (Olimpia), Wilson Palacios (Tottenham Hotspur), Hendry Thomas (Wigan), Danilo Turcios (Olimpia).
Forwards: David Suazo (Genoa), Georgie Welcome (Motagua), Carlos Pavon (Real Espana), Walter Martinez (Marathon).
