West Brom's Olsson feeling fresh ahead of relegation battle

Jonas Olsson says he is fighting fit as West Bromwich Albion prepare to stave off relegation.

The Swedish defender has recovered from a foot injury to recently feature for the Baggies who currently sit 14th on the Premier League table, seven points above the drop zone.

Albion head to Crystal Palace on Saturday but Olsson is confident leading into the crunch clash with the in-form Eagles.

"It's been a frustrating season but I've been given quite a lot of minutes by the gaffer lately, so I feel good," said Olsson.

"You always want full games, of course, but I have started two games and come on in four games in the last month or so, so I'm feeling better.

"My foot feels good and I feel fresh, so I'm eager to go and hopefully I can contribute in these last six games.

"I've been struggling with it for two seasons and after the operation it's been much better.

"Hopefully I will get even more minutes now.

"You want to contribute and it's been a frustrating season for me personally and for the team, so I want to contribute now.

"I have been in this situation before so I think I have something to offer."
