The Honduras soccer governing body has filed a complaint to FIFA against Sporting Kansas City and midfielder Roger Espinoza, originating from a dispute over the player’s unavailability to join the national team earlier this summer.
Jorge Salomon, the president for the National Autonomous Federation of Football of Honduras, told reporters that his organization was misled when Espinoza did not play for the Honduras national team due to injury.
Through a team spokesperson, Sporting KC said it cannot comment about a pending complaint. But when asked about national team call-ups as a generality, coach Peter Vermes said, “Since my time here, we have never rejected a player getting called up to his national team.
