West Brom defender Olsson admits playing frustration

West Bromwich Albion defender Jonas Olsson admits he's frustrated being out of the first team this season.

The Swede has found himself on the outer of manager Alan Irvine's plans as the Scot prefers Joleon Lescott and Craig Dawson as his first-choice defensive pairing.

"It's a little frustrating, this situation, but I drive on and will be professional.

"I am looking to be fit and ready, as now in November and December there's a number of matches to be played," Olsson told viasatsport.se.

On talk of needing Achilles surgery, Olsson added: "There is absolutely nothing that needs to be updated, I train on as normal."
