Team GB boss Pearce to make call on Chelsea's Sturridge after Brazil clash

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge will learn his Olympics fate after tomorrow's friendly with Brazil.

The Great Britain team take on the Brazilians at the Riverside Stadium in a tune-up match with manager Stuart Pearce saying he will make a call on Sturridge, who has been struggling with viral meningitis, after he sees how he gets through the contest.

"He looks very good, to be fair. Obviously, we are hoping to play him in some part of the game tomorrow, and really make a final judgment call at that stage," said Pearce.

"But everything we have asked of him at the moment, he's done. He's come through that OK.

"He has been blowing on occasions when he has done, but I think the game from a physical point of view, will tell us quite a lot."
