Cullen Ready for Team GB

Crista Cullen insists she has totally recovered from her ankle injury and is ready to play her part in Team GB's quest to win Olympic gold in London.

The Boston-born Leicester Ladies defender, 26, sustained the injury at the Olympic 2012 test event in May and missed the Investec London Cup in June.

But Cullen told BBC Lincolnshire: "It was frustrating but I am back on the pitch now and in full training.

"There are no concerns. I will be fully fit come the Games."

Cullen rolled her ankle when scoring the second of her two penalty corner goals in the 2-0 win over world champions Argentina at the Olympic Park.

She added: "It was a frustrating time but you can only manage it as best you can and try to stay positive.

"We have a great medical team who supported me through the whole process so I am confident that I will be fine at the start of the Games."

FAW Disappointed over Team GB

The Football Association of Wales says it was not consulted by the British Olympic Association over the use of Welsh players to promote Team GB.

Tottenham's Gareth Bale and Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey have been pictured wearing Team GB supporters' shirt.

FAW vice-president Trefor Lloyd Hughes is opposed to Welsh players featuring at the 2012 London Olympics.

"Personally I am disappointed with the [British] Olympic Association," he said.

"They have not contacted the Football Association of Wales at all. I think that's disappointing.

"It's the principle at the end of the day and that's what is important.

"The association issued a statement some months ago and we haven't changed [our stance] since that statement. It's as simple as that."

It is only natural that Adidas players including [Gareth] Bale and [Aaron] Ramsey would be used in the campaignAdidas spokesperson

The FAW along with its Scottish and Northern Irish counterparts fear a British team threatens their independence as football nations.

But Ramsey and Bale, two of Wales' most prominent players, have expressed a desire to represent Britain at next year's Olympics.

Wales striker Craig Bellamy has said he would back his international team-mates who want to represent Great Britain

Photographs of Ramsey and Bale wearing Team GB supporters' shirt has caused consternation among Welsh fans.

And Adidas, the Team GB kit suppliers, has defended its use of the Welsh duo to model the shirts.

"Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are just two out of a number of players from the Adidas portfolio pictured in the new supporters' kit," said an Adidas spokesperson.

"As the BOA have stated, players from the four nations are eligible for consideration and selection.

"Therefore it is only natural that Adidas players including Bale and Ramsey would be used in the campaign to launch this supporters' product."
