The Red Devils are the only European country to have already sealed their place alongside hosts Russia at the 2018 World Cup.
Roberto Martinez's side have sealed qualification after making short work of their World Cup qualifying group - with seven wins and one draw in eight matches so far.
Batshuayi will likely play a leading role for Chelsea upon his return from international duty after first-choice Blues striker Alvaro Morata was revealed to have suffered a hamstring strain.

Morata was forced off during Chelsea's 1-0 loss to Manchester City on Saturday and the Spanish FA revealed following a scan on Monday that he has suffered a grade two hamstring tear.
The injury will see Morata sidelined for at least a month and Batshuayi is likely to deputise in the former Real Madrid man's absence as Chelsea's only other recognised senior striker.
Batshuayi has impressed in his limited opportunities so far this season - with five goals in his last four outings including netting a late winner off the bench against Atletico Madrid last week.
