Berahino given extra time off after deadline day outburst

The 22-year-old was the subject of a several bids from Tottenham during the window, all of which were rejected, and had a transfer request turned down by West Brom.
Berahino posted on his Twitter account on Tuesday:
The England Under-21 international had been due back for training on Friday, along with his non-international teammates.
However, Omnisport understands the forward has been granted extra time off to clear his head and is now expected back on Monday.
Berahino had been left out of West Brom's defeat to Chelsea amid speculation over an exit, with head coach Tony Pulis stating the rumors had been "disruptive for all concerned".
