Wigan Athletics – Honduras: Not So ‘Friendly’

Honduras international soccer coach, Reinaldo Rueda and Wigan boss, Roberto Martinez are vying for Honduran internationals Maynor Figueroa and Hendry Thomas

Honduras is playing a World Cup friendly match against Venezuela in San Pedro Sula this Thursday, and the Honduran coach wants the dynamic duo on the field. This might force Figueroa and Thomas to sit out on one of Wigan’s top games, against arch rival West Ham on Saturday.

Wigan’s Martinez has claimed that, “The Honduras federation are asking us for medical reports. Maynor has played a lot of games, and we have to be careful with him. Hendry is just back from injury.”

Martinez fears the World Cup friendlies just may jeopardize the pair’s long-term availability.
