The 32-year-old centre-back started the first two Championship games but was on the bench for the 1-1 draw at Leeds United.
There are suggestions that the veteran defender is not part of Carlos Corberan’s plans and the club are looking to move him on.
It had been suggested that the defender’s contract had been terminated in order to allow him to leave on a free transfer.
But those claims are currently wide of the mark as the defender is still at West Brom at this stage.
Bartley has continued to train with the first-team squad at West Brom and is still part of the club.
With a little over a week left in the transfer window, the situation could change around the defender’s future.
However, for the moment the centre-back is still contracted to West Brom and has remained part of the club.
