Even if the Manchester United striker does emerge from suspension to represent England at Euro 2012, the FA has altered its policy and will allow players to perform at both summer tournaments.
Stuart Pearce’s Team GB could have a United feel with the coach admitting that he would also look at Wales’s Ryan Giggs.
David Beckham, Giggs’s former team-mate, is another strong candidate for the three over-age (23 plus) spots in the 18-man squad.
Scotland’s Darren Fletcher and Northern Ireland’s Jonny Evans are also in contention.
