It's all hands on deck for the Honduran national team.
Luis Fernando Suárez on Monday named 23 players for his camp ahead of next month's at the World Cup, and four MLS-based regulars were included: San Jose defender Víctor Bernárdez, Houston midfielder Boniek García, Colorado winger Marvin Chávez and New England forward Jerry Bengtson.
Former MLSers Andy Najar, Roger Espinoza, Mario Martínez and Carlo Costly were also included in the roster.
Suárez's squad will begin gathering in Miami on May 12, where they will hold their pre-World Cup camp. The Colombian head coach will then name seven more players to his camp on May 20.
All three of Honduras' send-off friendlies will be held on American soil. The first two are part of the "Road to Brazil" series: vs. Turkey at Washington's RFK Stadium on May 29 and vs. Israel at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium. Los Catrachos wrap up against England in Miami on June 7 before flying to Brazil.
Honduras were drawn into a challenging Group E that includes Switzerland, France and Ecuador.
