West Bromwich Albion's Saido Berahino rubbishes lawsuit claims

West Bromwich Albion forward Saido Berahino has denied claims that he is considering taking legal action against one of his teammates following a dressing room altercation.

Newspaper reports suggested that the England Under-21 star was ready to take James Morrison to court over the incident, which is said to have occurred following the Baggies' 3-3 draw with Cardiff City.

However, Berahino has now set the record straight with an official statement issued via West Brom.

"I am not taking legal action against any team-mate. I am only focussing on Saturday's game at Norwich," he said.

West Brom sporting and technical director Richard Garlick added: "As we stated on Tuesday, the club has drawn a line under the matter. We have seven important games coming up and Saido, along with the rest of the squad, has a big part to play in them."

The Baggies are currently in 17th place in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone.
