TEGUCIGALPA, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Toronto FC teammates Jesus Batiz and Deybi Flores were included in Honduras' squad on Friday for the team's CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal against Mexico.

Manager Reinaldo Rueda also called up Colombian-born forward Yustin Arboleda, who has been in prolific form for local club Olimpia.

The first leg of the quarterfinal will be played in Honduras on November 15, and the return fixture in Mexico four days later.

Honduras reached the Nations League last eight by finishing second in their group behind Jamaica, while Mexico secured an automatic quarterfinal berth due to their FIFA world ranking.

The teams have met on 48 occasions, with Mexico winning 29 and Honduras nine, in addition to 10 draws. The last time the sides clashed was in November last year when Mexico prevailed 2-0. Enditem
