David Moyes says that Everton, not the Olympic Games, should be Jack Rodwell's priority as he recovers from his injury nightmare.

Everton manager David Moyes has said that he would be unwilling to let Jack Rodwell play at the Olympics unless the midfielder is 100% fit.

The 21-year-old has been plagued by hamstring problems, which have intermittently kept him out for large portions of the campaign.

Moyes admitted that he would not want to deny Rodwell the chance to play for Team GB this summer, but said that his loyalties must lie with the Toffees.

"I wouldn't be keen on him going if I didn't think he was going to be right," said Moyes. "He has pulled his hamstring now a few times. I'll need to see how he develops.

"Everton is where his priority should lie, but I wouldn't want to rule him out of an opportunity to play in the Olympics. But I wouldn't want him to be going there if I thought he had a hamstring problem."

Rodwell earned his first two caps for England in November.
