Daniel Sturridge links up with Team GB

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has linked up with Great Britain's Olympic football squad after recovering from illness.

The 22-year-old has been given the all-clear following a bout of viral meningitis, and has joined up with Stuart Pearce's squad at the Olympic village.

It is understood that Pearce has his concerns over the forward's fitness, but the Chelsea man will be included in Pearce's first-team plans.

Team GB face Brazil in a warm-up match on Friday.
