EXCLUSIVE
Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa has not ruled out calling up Javier Saviola for the Olympic Games in August.
The Barcelona forward would miss some domestic football if the South Americans decide to name 'The Little Rabbit' in their squad.
Speaking before the friendly with Morocco, Bielsa told skysports.com that it is an option to rely on the Barca striker.
"He is one of the options that I will study in the coming weeks," Bielsa revealed.
"He could be in the Olympics but we will negotiate with everybody. He is a player who should have continuity and we need his quality.
"I have not received pressure from Barcelona nor am I going to admit to them who I will call for my squad.
"I will always look at what is best for Argentina."
Bielsa has been impressed with Saviola's impact in La Liga this term.
"His presence and change of rhythm, that can be explosive in the Spanish League in the penalty area," he added.
"He is scoring goals and has been key in the recovery of his team."
The Athens tournament takes place between August 11 and August 28.
Argentina will field a team of Under-23 internationals plus three over-aged players.
