Team GB's football team trained for the first time together on Monday, with just 17 days to go until their London 2012 Olympic Games opener against Senegal at Old Trafford.

Daniel Sturridge, who is being treated for meningitis, was the only absentee as coach Stuart Pearce cast his eye over the remaining 17 members.

Captain Ryan Giggs is the oldest member at 38-years-of-age, with Micah Richards and Craig Bellamy the other two over-age players included.

The squad trained at Champneys Hotel and Spa, Leicestershire and will also face the United Arab Emirates and Uruguay in Group A.
