Wigan boss Bruce sweating on his Honduras pair

Wigan boss Steve Bruce admits he's sweating on his Honduran pair Maynor Figueroa and Wilson Palacios.

Bruce said: "Wilson and Maynor were my two biggest concerns this week â€" they had the longest journey of all our international players.

"You want your players back quickly after these matches, but that is very hard when they've been playing in Mexico City.

"I'm not a fan of international games at this stage of the season, but this was a World Cup qualifier for Honduras, not a friendly.

"The Honduras coach has been very fair when it comes to call-ups. He only tends to pick Wilson for qualifiers and not the friendlies."
