Kansas City Wizards midfielder Roger Espinoza has been called up to the Honduras national team for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico.

Defenders: Osman Chávez (Motagua), Emilio Izaguirre (Motagua), Samuel Caballero (Shen Hua, China), Maynor Figueroa (Wigan), Edgar Alvarez (Pisa), Oscar Bonie García (Olimpia), Nery Medina (Real España).
