Team GB apologise after telling Hannah Hampton and two Everton players they won't be part of Olympic squad just TWO hours before kick-off - with Birmingham keeper 'in floods of tears' and 'heartbroken' before making three errors in 4-0 defeat

Great Britain's Olympic football team have issued an apology after Birmingham City goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was reduced to 'floods of tears' at being informed she wouldn't make the squad just before kick-off in a WSL game.

The 20-year-old was informed of the decision 90 minutes ahead of Birmingham's clash at home to Everton - which they lost 4-0.

Hampton went on to make three errors that led to goals and speaking post-match Birmingham manager Carla Ward was damning of the FA's timing as they had to console her just before an important match.
