Olsson back for West Brom

West Brom welcome back key defender Jonas Olsson from suspension for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League trip to Blackburn.

The Swede returned from two and a half months out with an Achilles injury in the FA Cup defeat by Reading two weeks ago but was sent off after 15 minutes and served his one-match ban against Blackpool last weekend.

Olsson played in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Walsall yesterday and is set to be thrown straight back into the action by boss Roberto Di Matteo.

Pablo Ibanez also came through that match unscathed after recovering from a hamstring injury but Graham Dorrans is a doubt after twisting an ankle while Steven Reid (knee) is poised to return to training next week.

Team (from): Myhill, Carson, Hurst, Zuiverloon, Jara, Cech, Mulumbu, Dorrans, Morrison, Brunt, Thomas, Odemwingie, Shorey, Fortune, Cox, Meite, Miller, Tchoyi, Ibanez, Scharner, Tamas, Olsson.
