Aston Villa goalkeeper Olsen: Family want me to continue with Sweden

Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen has revealed his reason for continuing national duty.

The shot-stopper is second choice under Unai Emery at Villa so far this season.

He is behind Argentina star Emi Martinez, but still wants to represent Sweden.

Olsen was considering his international future, but he has clarified that stance.

“I have to take the family into account as well, but if I have to choose, I'm not done," he said via Fotboll Direkt.

"I absolutely want to continue. I think the wife at home also wants me to continue.

“It means an incredible amount. I also think that I showed it in the matches that it means a lot."
