West Brom boss Irvine: Berahino won't suffer burnout

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is confident Saido Berahino won't burnout.

The 21-year-old has scored more Premier League goals than any other Englishman and has found the net in his last four games.

"I don't believe Saido will burn out," Irvine said. "You look at players in the Football League are playing Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday and keep doing it.

"Saido has played more than any other player at the club but he is young and full of energy and is in a great place mentally.

"If we start speaking to him about needing a rest he might need a rest."
