Kyle Walker hoping to feature at Olympics

Kyle Walker has expressed his desire to play at the Olympics for Team GB after missing out on the European Championships through injury.

Tottenham Hotspur right-back Walker was in contention to go to the Euros in Poland and Ukraine with England but was ruled out because of a toe injury.

He has since spoken of his disappointment at missing out but is hoping to make up for it to an extent by featuring at the Olympics.

"Of course I am disappointed not to be going to the European Championships," the Daily Star quotes the 21-year-old as saying.

"I am in contention to be in the [Olympic] squad and would love to represent my country.

"I was told my recovery would take four weeks and hopefully I will be back running soon."

Walker also spoke of the disappointment at missing out on next season's Champions League because of Chelsea's triumph in the European competition.
