West Brom prepare for return of defender Olsson

Jonas Olsson is poised for a first-team return with West Bromwich Albion after recovering from injury. The 31-year-old centre-back underwent Achilles tendon surgery before Christmas and has now played in a couple of reserve games.

Head coach Tony Pulis said: "He is getting closer, and we need to give him as much game-time as possible.

"He needs to play because over the next 13 games in the Premiership we are going to pick up injuries along the way, so we need to get Jonas as fit as we possibly can."
