Now Roberto Martinez fears he could be forced to go without the 21-year-old, who flew home last week to receive treatment in Brussels, for next Saturday’s visit to the Hawthorns.
He said: “We’ll have to assess him on Monday and Tuesday to see how fit he is because there is a big question mark over Rom being fully fit for the weekend.
“We’ve got a great relationship with the Belgian federation and it’s been great to be able to work together. Obviously Rom has been struggling with that toe and he’s done magnificently to be on the pitch and helping us on matchday.
