Sporting Kansas City’s Roger Espinoza awaits call to Olympics, but will it come?

Honduras expressed interest in Espinoza joining its national team for the Rio Games

But days before the roster announcement, Espinoza has not received a call

The initial call came a couple of months ago, and Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza started planning a trip to Brazil.

On the other end, a representative from the Honduras men’s national team gauged Espinoza’s interest in representing his home country in the 2016 Olympics. Espinoza answered in the affirmative. Sporting KC later approved the trip.

So why, months later, does he remain in limbo and appear to be on the outside looking in?
