Blackburn starlet Martin Olsen has admitted his frustration as he slowly edges towards ending his long stint on the sidelines.

The 19-year-old, who made his Premier League debut for Rovers against Derby at the end of 2007, has faced a long spell out after having an operation to cure a persistent ankle injury.

He told the club's official website: "I'm just getting back slowly but it feels good. I'd like to play more and I was pushing for a place in the first team when it happened.

"I am happy at Blackburn but I am still getting used to the club. I am very confident player but it has been frustrating not being able to play."
