Liverpool goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga is set for his Olympics bow in the summer.

The Brazilian has been chosen by the club's Football Federation and coach Ramon Menezes as part of their pre-Olympics squad.

The group will get together for practice games during the November international break.

Pitaluga is highly rated within the Reds' academy and is seen as a future first teamer.
