Interview with David Ruiz’s Representative

Reason for your absence

“David Ruiz is in bad form right now, his fitness is not good. “He was not in good form against Cuba, he had a gastritis problem. “

Did they notify you that you were sick since you bought them the second ticket?

“We are waiting to find out what the problem is first. We didn’t want to talk to the federation first without knowing it because Ruiz was not well and we had to go to the hospital and we thought it was a virus but after talking to the doctor, We know we can talk to the federation.

“He has recovered, it is not a physical problem, it is temporary. “Ruiz did not say no to the national team, everything is fine. “

Next step

“The health of the players is more important and we want the players to be 100 per cent at their best. “We are waiting to know the first steps and now we have to wait. “

initial symptoms

“On the morning of the game against Cincinnati (Saturday), David Ruiz was not well and we don’t know what it was. Now he is recovering and we will discuss it with the Federation of Honduras to make a decision.”

Recovery Time

“I think that since this is not a very serious problem it can be solved quickly. It is a viral disease and we have to wait and it is not easy to make a diagnosis because there are other tests involved. But it is not an injury either. Not physical harm.”

Might the appeal to America have nothing to do with this?

“No, no. As I said in the interview before, Ruiz can play two more games for Honduras. “This is not the reason, we just consider the health of the players. “

Message to injured Honduran fans

“David Ruiz is sad that he cannot play for the Honduras national team now, he is happy to represent his country. But you have to think about the players and it has nothing to do with the other news they are talking about.”
