It means the 18-year-old, who is on loan from Albion, is set to miss the Saddlers derby with Shrewsbury on October 7.

Roberts has been a revelation since moving to the Banks's Stadium last month with the young forward having netted three goals in his first six games.

Shrewsbury will also be depleted for the game with goalkeeper Dean Henderson having been called into the England under-21 squad.

Ex-Saddler Craig MacGillivray is likely to take his place.
