Real Madrid and Manchester United may also be contributing to the side…
The FA has announced that it is interested in creating another Great Britain side for the 2016 Olympics. A team had been made for the 2012 event in London, but that had been thought to be a one off.

Who could line up in the team in just over a year’s time?
GK) Jack Butland, Stoke City
The young keeper may need to go out on loan to get some more game time in the build up, but he still has bags of potential.
RB) Andrew Robertson, Hull City
Naturally a left-back, the Scotland international has been in great form for the Tigers this season. He could fill in at the problem right-back spot.
LB) Luke Garbutt, Everton
Stuck behind Leighton Baines at club level, and could well find himself in a similar position at the international level. As Baines looks likely to move in to midfield soon if Roberto Martinez has his way, then the promising full-back could get the game time needed to get in this team.
CB) Calum Chambers, Arsenal
Gabriel Paulista’s arrival at the Emirates coupled with Hector Bellerin’s emergence could lead to less time for Chambers, making it tough for him to get in to the senior side. A place in the Olympic squad wouldn’t be a bad trade off.
CB) Paddy McNair, Manchester United
Louis van Gaal has not been afraid to play young defenders at Old Trafford, and the Northern Irishman looks one of the more promising.
CM) Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal
With Wales unlikely to get in to Euro 2016, the 24-year-old could be one of three over-age players allowed.
CM) Steven Gerrard, Liverpool/LA Galaxy
Retired from international football, Rio could be the perfect swansong for the Liverpool legend.
RM) Ryan Gauld, Sporting Lisbon
The Scottish Messi has been developing well at the Portuguese side.
LM) Gareth Bale, Real Madrid
The Galactico could add the star quality that the squad will need.
ST) Jordon Ibe, Liverpool
He has burst on to the scene in the last few weeks, and if Roy Hodgson doesn’t want the forward then he could end up here.
ST) Saido Berahino, West Brom
The Baggies star will be just young enough to get in to the squad, and would be the cutting edge the team needs.
