FA general secretary Alex Horne says Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere could get his dream wish of playing in the London Olympics.
The 19-year-old Arsenal midfielder is now part of Fabio Capello's England plans, but has said he would also like to play for a British Olympic team next year.
The FA have said they would not select any player for the Olympic squad who had been to the Euro 2012 finals in Poland and Ukraine.
But asked about Wilshere wanting to play in both tournaments, Horne told the London Evening Standard: "We would have a conversation with Arsene and Jack to see if it was feasible.
"It means the player will get no summer holiday, depending on how long we are in Poland and Ukraine for. It's tough. It's how Arsenal feel about it as they are the employer and as an athlete you have got to take a rest.
"The idea is to appoint a manager to select a team in May [2012], but not take anyone to Poland/Ukraine and then ask them to play in the Olympics because there is only four weeks in between and that's not fair on the clubs or the players."
