Manchester City striker Nicolas Anelka returns to the squad for the UEFA Cup match against Polish side Groclin tomorrow after a calf strain.

Anelka, who manager Kevin Keegan claims was rested for the victory at Southampton, could partner Robbie Fowler with Paulo Wanchope returning to the bench despite scoring at St Mary’s.

Shaun Wright-Phillips, who is in the middle of a domestic suspension, may replace Trevor Sinclair as he has a dead leg.

Provisional squad: Seaman, Jihai, Dunne, Distin, Tarnat, Sinclair, Reyna, Barton, McManaman, Anelka, Wanchope, Fowler, Sibierski, Ellegaard, Sommeil, Bosvelt, Wright-Phillips, Macken.
