Saido Berahino posts topless West Brom 'Fat boy' photo from south of France
Saido Berahino appears to have questioned the necessity of his four-day training regime in the south of France on social media.
The exiled Albion striker uploaded a topless photo of himself looking into a mirror onto his Instagram story accompanied with the words 'Fat boy' and a winking face emoji.
Head coach Tony Pulis sent the 23-year-old abroad on Friday in an attempt to get him back to a level of fitness he deems acceptable.
Throughout the weekend, Berahino has been sharing videos and photos of his time in France on his Instagram account.
But the latest, which is a photo of himself looking toned in the mirror, suggests the academy product believes he is in shape.
Berahino has been left out of the last three Albion squads and will not be featuring in today's clash with Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
Last month, it emerged that Pulis thought Berahino was overweight and wanted to put him on a special training regime.
It's understood the striker disputes he was ever 8lbs too heavy, although he did admit he was lacking match sharpness from his spell on the sidelines.
"He's got a week there to top himself up," said Pulis, on Friday. "He's going to go through everything that we've done so far to enable him to be at a level that hopefully, fingers crossed, when he does come back, that he'll be sharp and able to maintain Premier League football.
"He's bought into this. The fella that he's going out to see has got a lot of experience. I know him personally, we're not sending him somewhere I don't know.
"It will be a really good experience for Saido and good for the club because we can get an outside view on his conditioning and what we've done.
"He'll look at everything we've done, assess what we've done and make a judgment on what Saido has to do over the next two weeks before the Burnley game."
Berahino is due back from France on Wednesday.
