Rueda waiting on injured pair for Honduras' opener

Honduras coach Reinaldo Rueda will wait until the day before his team's World Cup opener against Chile before deciding whether key players David Suazo and Wilson Palacios are fit to play.

Rueda says that he has decided on 90 percent of his lineup for Wednesday's Group H match and that the "remaining 10 percent is made up of Suazo and Palacios."

Striker Suazo and midfielder Palacios trained apart from the rest of the 23-man squad on Thursday while the other players took part in a training match.

Rueda said the pair had muscle injuries that were not serious but needed to be treated with care.
