Allan Nyom will be available for Albion’s clash with Sunderland tomorrow after FIFA dismissed the case against the Cameroon defender.

The Baggies were waiting for an update on the 28-year-old full-back after the governing body were called in to rule on a dispute between the club and the Cameroon FA over his eligibility for his club during the African Cup of Nations.

Both Nyom and Liverpool defender Joel Matip informed their country they did not wish to participate in the tournament and then neither player was named in Hugo Broos’ 23-man squad.

But the Cameroon FA had provided Albion or Liverpool with written approval that their players could feature, and so neither team had taken the risk of playing them.

Nyom had previously missed the last two games but will be available for selection tomorrow after FIFA considered the evidence and returned their verdict this evening.
