Saido Berahino has denied reports that he is considering legal action against West Bromwich Albion team-mate James Morrison over a dressing-room altercation after the 3-3 draw with Cardiff City at the Hawthorns on Saturday.

The England Under-21s striker was left with a black eye and was understood to be furious that the club are not taking any action against Scotland international Morrison. However, a statement on Albion's website on Wednesday evening denied he will be pursuing the matter.

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

The club's 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 episode happened after West Brom had allowed Cardiff an equaliser deep into added time on Saturday, for which Berahino was viewed as culpable. With his side leading 3-2 due to Thievy Bifouma's goal, the forward gave up the ball in the fifth minute of injury time and from the subsequent play Mats Moller Daehli scored a crucial equaliser. Berahino has scored eight goals in 28 appearances for West Brom, though he has made only three starts since Pepe Mel took over as manager in January.
