Spain's injury-plagued Jose Maria Olazabal is to play his first event of the year when he contests the French Open, which starts on Thursday.

The 44-year-old, who has been sidelined with rheumatic shoulder pain, says he is well enough to play.

"I cannot say I'm feeling good or 100% pain-free but there has been some improvement in the last couple of months," he said.

"I haven't been able to practise like one should."

Olazabal's career has been dogged by injury and illness - he suffered from rheumatoid arthritis in the 1990s - and he revealed has not found a cure for his latest ailment.

The former Ryder Cup vice-captain and twice US Open winner added: "I've been in a lot of pain. When you struggle to lift a glass of water, it's quite severe.

"I've seen a bunch of doctors, been all over the place but they really can't pinpoint what is causing it."
