Olympics 2020: Which Premier League players are involved in Tokyo tournament?

Players from Manchester United, Arsenal and more will be taking part in Japan - Goal has the run-down

The Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 were delayed by a year thanks to the global Covid-19 pandemic, but the men's football tournament is set to kick off on July 22, 2021.

Plenty of big-hitters are competing in the tournament, including Brazil, Mexico, Germany and Spain, with a number of well-known stars representing their countries.

It will run until August 7, meaning it concludes just a week before the Premier League season begins. Understandably, some coaches are not keen on their players being involved and some have vetoed call-ups - which happened with Mohamed Salah and Egypt.
