Zuiverloon admits putting West Brom place at risk

Gianni Zuiverloon admits he's risking his West Brom career by committing himself to Holland's Olympics campaign.

Zuiverloon, 21, said: "I think I will miss the first two games perhaps and the first one is against Arsenal which is one of the greatest games in the competition.

"I have mixed feelings but the Olympics will be good and you can only play once there in your life. We hope we can go all the way in China. We are going for a medal as we have a very good team.

"Could it count against me if Albion start well? Yes, it might. They always say never change a winning team so if Albion make a good start then the manager doesn't need to change things.

"I will just have to work hard and show what I can do, I suppose if we won the gold medal it would help me.

"But, even so, if the other players are doing well then I won't be able to just come back into the team. It will be what the manager wants. I am an attacking defender and I want to play football."
