Defender set for Rovers return

Blackburn have been boosted by the news Martin Olsson should be fit for Monday's must-win Premier League home clash against Wigan.

The 23-year-old Sweden international full-back, who has reportedly made it known this week that he will look for a route out of Ewood Park should Rovers drop into the Championship come the end of the season on Sunday week, has been sorely missed due to a slight injury problem. However, having had to settle for a place on the bench for the past three games due to not being 100 per cent fit, it seems boss Steve Kean will pitch him into the side to face Roberto Martinez's Latics who could relegate Rovers if they win. Kean is boosted by having an otherwise fully fit squad to pick from for the Wigan game which Rovers will need to win, along with the daunting final day trip to Chelsea to have any chance of survival.
