Players recover before opener

The three players that were questionable after missing yesterday morning’s practice seem to have recovered and will probably start the game against Germany today in Munich. Goalkeeper Jose Francisco Porras, alongside defender Gilberto Martinez and midfielder Mauricio Solis were all in the pitch with the rest of the team last night, as Costa Rica practiced at Allianz-Arena, the venue where the World Cup opening match will take place this Friday. With the return of these players, Costa Rica’s likely starting line-up for today is as follows:

José Francisco Porras; Jervis Drummond, Luis Marin, Michael Rodríguez, Gilberto Martínez, Douglas Sequeira; Mauricio Solis, Walter Centeno, Carlos Hernández; Ronald Gómez and Paulo Wanchope.
