"Should something out of the ordinary happen there is a tiny, tiny chance that he'll do a few competitions at the end of the indoor season, but that's not our goal."
The world indoors take place in Moscow in March.
The 25-year-old Olsson hurt his foot when he won gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics and has since struggled with the injury.
He has not competed this year, skipping the world championships in Helsinki in August where he would have been the title holder.
In August, Olsson aims to defend his European title on home soil in Gothenburg.
