SAN PEDRO SULA, HONDURAS.- Date 3 of the League of Nations will give a virtual ticket to the Gold Cup at the Olympic stadium, where the Bicolor has not won since November 17, 2019: eight losses and one draw since then.
What could be the last game of the Argentine coach with the H has a promising lineup, as “La Barbie” plans to put his best weapons against the best team in Concacaf.
Although he was already active in training, the saving guard Luis “Buba” López has not recovered one hundred percent physically and his position between the fences will be taken over by Harold Fonseca.

The central Denil Maldonado and Carlos Meléndez will remain, as well as the discreet Maylor Núñez due to the little affinity that the other right back, Carlos Argueta, shows with the National Team technicians. On the left side, Omar Elvir would take the place of Wesly Decas.
In the heart of the field, the motors Kervin Arriaga and Deiby Flores are immovable, the same thing happens with number ’10’ Edwin Rodríguez. Luis Palma, who came from Greece to qualify for the Conference League and barely had any action in Curaçao, aims to be the starter to replace José Mario Pinto.
Up front there is a mandatory change, because Jerry Bengston is no longer in the National Team and the one who took his place, Bryan Moya, would be in consideration of seeing minutes as a star. Captain Romell Quioto will be the ‘9’ of the H against Canada.
On Sunday, Honduras will hold its last training session prior to the game in the afternoon. At night, Alphonso Davies and the North Americans will arrive on the catracho ground and will go to the Olympic stadium to reconnoiter on the pitch.
