Forgotten striker Miku is still part of Venezuela’s World Cup plans.
The 27-year-old made his final Celtic appearance in the 3-2 defeat at Ross County at the start of March but is now on international duty.
Miku will miss Friday’s match against Bolivia due to suspension but is available for selection for the home tie with Uruguay on June 11.
Venezuela are currently sitting in fifth spot in the South American qualifying group from which the top four automatically qualify with the fifth placed country going into a play off.
Full points would put Venezuela in with a great chance of qualifying for the finals for the first time.
A trip to Bolivia is one of the toughest in the schedule with the Venezuela squad spending two weeks training at altitude in the Venezuelan Andes before spending a week preparing in Bolivia.
Miku’s Celtic career never got off the ground despite playing in the home Champions League matches against Benfica and Barcelona.
Regular trips to South America prevented the striker from settling at Celtic where he scored twice- away to Dundee United and Inverness Caley Thistle.
Tomorrow Emilio Izaguirre faces Beram Kayal in a friendly between Honduras and Israel in New York.
Honduras have three World Cup qualifiers coming up between June 7 and 18 against Costa Rica away, Jamaica at home and away to the USA.
Looking forward to those make or break fixtures the Celtic defender said: “The important thing is to win, all winning teams have a strong mentally.
“We have to be positive, work hard and leave nothing to chance over these matches. We know what is expected and have to give everything over these games to achieve our goal of reaching Brazil.
The top three countries in the six team group qualify automatically with one going into a play-off. Panama are currently top of the table with five points from three games, Honduras are a point behind alongside the USA and Costa Rica.
