The pair have only been in the same West Bromwich Albion side on a few occasions this season.

West Brom star James Morrison has explained that he is looking forward to playing alongside Nacer Chadli once again, the Birmingham Mail reports.

Morrison had been struggling to force his way into the Baggies’ starting line-up during the first couple of months of the season, but was perhaps the beneficiary of Chadli’s recent injury.

The Belgian’s 10 minute cameo during the draw with Hull City this past weekend was his first appearance for nearly a month. And with Morrison being the man to be taken off to make way for the former Tottenham ace, he is still awaiting the chance to enjoy a prolonged period of time playing in the same team as the summer signing.

And the Scotland international explained how excited he is about the prospect of playing alongside Chadli on a more regular basis.

“I’m quite looking forward to playing with Chadders. He’s a top player,” he said, as reported by the Mail.

“I haven’t been on the pitch with him that many times, so I’m looking forward to linking up with him. Hopefully he gets back to fitness, like myself.”

Morrison is not the only one that should be excited about the prospect of the pair playing alongside each other. Both men have enjoyed brilliant spells at different times during the early stages of the campaign, and Tony Pulis will be hoping that they will have no problem rediscovering that form once they are playing alongside each other in the coming games.
