England in Honduras talks over World Cup tune-up match

England are set to face Honduras in a pre-World Cup friendly.

Fabio Capello's side are fine-tuning for South Africa with a series of friendlies which will include Egypt in March and Japan in June, just days before the finals.

England are grouped with the USA and Capello wanted a friendly against opponents who play a similar style to the Americans.

The FA have now lined up Honduras, who will include Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios and Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega.

They want to take on the Central American side in a send-off at Wembley on May 29, before flying out for a training camp in Austria.
