(Reuters) - West Bromwich Albion striker Nicolas Anelka will resume training on Thursday after a week off on compassionate grounds and will be available for Sunday's Premier League game against Swansea City, the club said on Wednesday.

The former France international had been excused for a few days following the sudden death of his friend and agent Eric Manasse. He missed last weekend's 0-0 draw at Everton and Tuesday's League Cup second-round victory over Newport.
