Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson have expressed displeasure at the prospect of their players competing at the Games, but Bale won’t be playing in the European Championships and as a Welshman, rarely plays football over the summer.
Redknapp too, is unlikely to be Spurs boss at the time of the Olympics.
Redknapp said of the Welsh 22-year-old: “If he wants to play, I am sure we would let him. It is a great honour for anybody to play in the Olympic Games.”
