Edwin Rene Palacios, the brother of Honduran midfielder Wilson Palacios, was snatched in the central American country on Tuesday.

Officials in Honduras said the parents were tied up after kidnappers stormed into a home in La Ceiba, which is north of the capital Tegucigalpa.

The club said the midfielder has decided to remain in the UK for now.

It said the international could return to Honduras at any time if he wanted to.
