Gylfi Sigurdsson has resumed first-team training with Swansea after previously missing the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.

Sigurdsson decided against travelling with the rest of the squad on a 10-day trip to the East Coast earlier this month, with the club stating he was not in "the right frame of mind" to travel.

The 27-year-old has spent the past fortnight training with the Under-23 players amid continuing uncertainty over the influential Icelandic midfielder's future.

Swansea posted a picture of Sigurdsson training with the first-team squad on their official Twitter account on Wednesday evening as Paul Clement's senior squad returned to the club's Fairwood training base.

Sky sources revealed that Swansea had rejected a second bid from Everton for midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, understood to be £40m, plus an additional £5m in add-ons.

The Swans have always insisted they will not be forced to sell Sigurdsson, a pivotal player for the south Wales side since he joined from Tottenham for £6.8m in July 2014.
