West Brom striker Saido Berahino has been put on a weight-loss training plan in a bid to get him fit, Baggies manager Tony Pulis has revealed.

The 23-year-old has not started a game since the trip to Bournemouth on 10 September, with tests showing he was eight pounds over his ideal weight.

"I don't think there's just one reason [why he's not fit]," said Pulis.

"We've put a fitness programme in place and we're hoping and praying that it'll help him get back."

He added: "The lad has bought into it and wants to get himself fit."
