Nicolas Anelka doubtful for Chelsea return

West Bromwich Albion head coach Steve Clarke has revealed that striker Nicolas Anelka could miss the club's match with Chelsea.

Anelka is currently suffering with a "slight groin strain", but Clarke has hinted that they will wait until the last possible moment to assess the former Blues forward.

The 50-year-old told the Express & Star: "The only one that's doubtful from the normal squad is Nicolas.

"He's got a slight groin strain and we will assess him again tomorrow."

The 34-year-old scored 59 goals in 184 appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge, which lasted between 2008 and 2012.
