The Belgian attacker joins suspended James McClean in being unavailable to face the champions and will also not feature in the upcoming international break.

Chadli has been withdrawn from Belgium's squad for their fixtures against Holland and Estonia but will be hoping to return for the Baggies against Burnley on Monday, November 21.

The 24-year-old flew to his home country for a 'minor procedure' after injuring his knee.

Albion's Director of Performance Dr Mark Gillett said: "Everything went well and Nacer is back with us and already working hard on his rehabilitation.

"He will be in contention for a return to action after the international break."
