Alexis Mac Allister has thanked Albion for allowing him to fulfil his Olympics dream.

The midfielder has been given the green light to go to Tokyo this summer with Argentina under-23s.

He sat out the squad’s recent trip to Spain, which included a training camp and two friendlies.

Mac Allister played a huge role in leading Argentina through qualifiers before joining up with Albion early last year.

He posted on social media today: “Since I was a child, taking part of this tournament with my country’s been a huge dream, the same as being part of a World Cup.

“That’s why, when we qualified for the Olympics in Colombia, I decided to do everything I could to being available to play there.

“I want to thank a lot to @officialbhafc and to every person who’s helped me to achieve this goal, and for understanding how important it is for me to play these games representing Argentina.”
