Jack Wilshere remains on Great Britain's 80-man list of contenders to feature at this summer's Olympics.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed last week that Wilshere would miss Euro 2012 after failing to recover from an ankle injury that has kept him out of the entire season.
It was also suggested Wilshere would not be available for the Olympics, which would have been a back-up option for the 20-year-old, who had previously admitted he would relish the chance to be involved.
However, Wilshere was in the 80-man provisional squad Pearce selected last week.
And the Great Britain coach has confirmed he will not rule anyone out until he is satisfied they cannot play, even if the odds on Wilshere making the final 18-man squad appear extremely remote.
"He is on the shortlist," said Pearce. "We will look at everyone individually and check their fitness and the medical people will speak with the clubs."
