Olsson set for injury all clear
lackburn boss Sam Allardyce is confident a knee injury suffered by Martin Olsson in Tuesday's friendly loss at Preston is not serious.[LNB] Olsson was substituted after just 19 minutes of the 3-0 defeat at Deepdale but Allardyce still expects the 22-year-old Swede to play a full part in this month's pre-season tour of Australia.[LNB]Allardyce told Sky Sports News: "It felt a little bit achy and then got worse instead of disappearing, so we brought him off as a precautionary measure.[LNB]"Hopefully it'll be just a few days to recover from that and he should be fine for Australia."[LNB]Rovers face games against Rangers, AEK Athens and host club Sydney FC in the Festival of Football Tournament Down Under.[LNB]They then return to Britain and play a friendly at Hearts before beginning their Premier League campaign at home to Everton on August 14.[LNB]Allardyce hopes by then to have brought in more forward firepower to bolster his existing options.[LNB]He added: "When you haven't got as much money as everyone else, it makes it difficult to find the right player to make an impact for you.[LNB]"It is not a striker we are looking for to make the numbers up, it is a striker we are looking for to make an impact by challenging Jason Roberts and Niko Kalinic. That is extremely difficult for us at the moment."
