During the preseason, several members of the team were poisoning presenting stomach pain and four of them were interned in a clinic. Iván Guerrero, Johnny Leverón, Romel Murillo and Carlos Padilla, were the players that were taken to the hospital due to severe dehydration. The rest of the team took a medical evaluation at the headquarters of the club. Following this incident, the coach Juan de Dios Castillo has suspended training for a couple of days.[2]

Clausura
Main article: 2009–10 Honduran Liga Nacional § Torneo Clausura

The 2009–10 Clausura season for C.D.

Platense with difficulties; however lost in the Final against Club Deportivo Olimpia in spite of having shown great football.
