Olsson close to Rovers' return

Martin Olsson is hoping to make his long-awaited Blackburn comeback for tomorrow’s trip to Manchester United.

The Swede has featured just once for Steve Kean’s men since November 5 after suffering a hamstring injury but could ease a major injury crisis for the Lancashire outfit.

David Dunn and Junior Hoilett (both hamstring) face late tests but goalkeeper Paul Robinson (calf) is amongst seven senior players definitely out, as is Gael Givet, even though the Frenchman has returned to training following a minor heart procedure.

Blackburn (from): Bunn, Samba, Lowe, Hanley, Nzonzi, Rochina, Pedersen, Petrovic, Dunn, Hoilett, Olsson, Yakubu, Goodwillie, Formica, Roberts, Vukcevic, Slew, Blackman, Henley, Morris, Kean.
