| Saido Berahino to return to West Brom action this week |
SAIDO BERAHINO is set to return to action for West Brom this week despite threatening to go on strike.
The 22-year-old missed out on a deadline day move to Tottenham after Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace put his foot down.
Berahino tweeted saying he would never play for Peace again and was given time off to get his head straight.
But Pulis confirmed today that he would be in his plans despite being dropped for the last two matches while the speculation unsettled him.
“I’ve told him what I think he should have done," Pulis said. "The supporters will have to judge what they see with their own eyes.
“I can’t tell them what to do. I’m a football man and I just want Saido back out there, playing well and scoring goals.”
But the former Stoke and Palace boss admits Berahino has acted poorly.
He submitted a transfer request during the window ahead of Tottenham's deadline day bid.
But Peace rejected it and made a public statement condemning Spurs for their low-ball move.
"His reaction has not been sensible. He’s immature the way he reacts at times," Pulis added.
“The respect he should have shown the club wasn’t there. He’s let himself down with the way he has handled things but that’s more lack of experience than anything else.
“The players have been good with him and he’s been great in training this week.
“I think the players can see how this has all worked out for him. He just has to understand that he has to do things the right way.”
