West Brom boss Tony Pulis has insisted that Saido Berahino needed to be taken out of the side and placed on a personal fitness plan.
The striker is now doing extra work as well as training with the first team after the club decided he was overweight and unfit to play.
Tests found he was eight pounds over his ideal weight and the 23-year-old will not feature at Liverpool on Saturday.
Berahino has not scored since February, a 14-game run, and has not played in the Baggies' past four matches having also been left out of the squad completely for last weekend's 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
