Preview:

Team GB take on Uruguay tonight at Millennium Stadium in Group A in the Men's Olympic Football at the London 2012 Olympics.

Great Britain coach Stuart Pearce has no serious injury concerns ahead of tonight's game.

Team GB will progress to the quarter-finals should they avoid defeat against the South Americans tonight.

Aaron Ramsey looks set to retain his place in midfield alongside Joe Allen and captain Ryan Giggs, while Scott Sinclair is pushing for a start after scoring in the win over UAE.

Uruguay know this is also a must win for them after they were outplayed by ten-men Senegal last time out.

Maxi Calzada could start in midfield, while Abel Hernandez may also start after impressing when coming on as a substitute against Senegal.

Edinson Cavani, Gaston Ramirez, and Luis Suarez are all likely to retain their places in the starting line-up.
