The winger, who was part of the Belgium squad that reached the semi-finals of this summer’s World Cup finals in Russia has not featured in any of Darren Moore’s squads this season following the Midlands side’s relegation to the Championship.
He also barely featured last season, racking up just five league appearances with his only goal of the campaign coming in a 1-1 draw with Leicester City back in October.
Prior to his switch to the Hawthorns in the summer of 2016, Chadli spent three seasons with Tottenham Hotspur where he played one hundred and nineteen times, scoring twenty-five goals.

Saturday s North London derby carries greater significance than usual, with unprecedented bragging rights available for Tottenham against Arsenal.
The Gunners standing at the top of the Premier League marks the first occasion since December 2007 that the two sides have faced off against each other with one of them top of the league.

Roberto Soldado has likened the second leg of Tottenham s UEFA Europa League clash with Dnipro to a cup final.
Tottenham fell to a 1-0 defeat against the Ukrainian side in last week s first leg, with Soldado guilty of missing a golden chance to give his side an away goal and the advantage in the tie.
Soldado has not found the back of the net since December, but is nevertheless confident ahead of Thursday s return meeting at White Hart Lane.
They (Dnipro) were definitely the better team when we played them last week, but it’s a final for us now, the Spaniard told Tottenham s official website.
We have to win, and I think at White Hart Lane we can definitely put them to the sword.
We re an attacking side but we re not going to go out there from the first min…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is paying little importance to Paris Saint-Germain s International Champions Cup success as the French champions gear up for Saturday s Trophee des Champions clash with Lyon.

Blanc s men overcame Fiorentina and Manchester United in the ICC, with Ibrahimovic grabbing the second in a 2-0 win over the Premier League side on Wednesday in Chicago.
Despite overcoming stiff opposition in the United States, Ibrahimovic has warned it will be worth nothing if they do not beat Hubert Fournier s side on Saturday.
This [the ICC] is not an official tournament, it just s…
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will not return to Juventus, according to the Serie A giants sporting director Fabio Paratici.
Pogba, 25, has been linked with a return to Turin amid reports of a falling out with under-fire United manager Jose Mourinho.
The France international left Juve for Old Trafford in a then-record €105million move in August 2016.
Amid reports linking Pogba – who won four consecutive Serie A titles at Juve – with a return, Paratici said the club had not entertained the idea.
We love him very much, he said at an awards ceremony on Monday.
We re connected to him, but we ve never thought about it and we re not going to think about it.
Bien joué, !

A furious Luis Enrique launched an impassioned defence of Andre Gomes ahead of Barcelona s Champions League quarter-final away to Juventus.
Gomes was one of the players targeted for criticism after Barcelona suffered a shock 2-0 loss to Malaga on Saturday in a huge blow to their LaLiga title hopes.
And Luis Enrique was angry when he was asked if the former Valencia midfielder would have enough confidence to replace the suspended Sergio Busquets for the first leg of the tie in Turin.
Of course he could have a chance of playing but what I think is a bit pathetic is that you are individualising any defeat on one player or two players in any team, the Barca boss said at his pre-match media conference.
When I am here I am going to come out and defend my play…

[He will be out] for a while, he told reporters following City s 5-0 Champions League thrashing of Copenhagen on Wednes…
Ronald Koeman believes he retains the backing of Barcelona s players but accepts his future is not in his own hands after the club s embarrassing 3-0 Champions League defeat by Benfica.
Barca followed up their 3-0 matchday one loss to Bayern Munich by an even more humiliating defeat as they left Lisbon on the end of another three-goal defeat on Wednesday.
It means Barca have lost the first two matches of a Champions League campaign for the first time ever and leaves them bottom of Group E.
On top of that, Barca have now lost back-to-back group-stage matches for the first since 2000-01, while Benfica s win equalled their biggest ever in the competition.
Barca have been in turmoil ever since Lionel Messi s departure was confirmed last month and their situat…
