Here is The Times version of the story:
Saido Berahino reportedly suffered a head injury in a West Bromwich Albion dressing room brawl after Saturday’s 3-3 draw at home to Cardiff City.
Some of the England Under-21 striker’s team-mates are said to have turned on him after his mistake, deep in stoppage time, let in Mats Daehli for a last-gasp equaliser for the visiting team. That denied West Brom a vital victory which would have helped to ease their relegation fears.
Richard Garlick, the sporting and technical director, is expected to hold peace talks with the players today as he bids to save the club’s season ahead of a vital game against Norwich City on Saturday. But the relegation-threatened club are unlikely to take any action.
“What happened is not uncommon in a dressing room and shows that the players care. The players involved have apologised. The club has drawn a line under the matter and is now fully focussing on Saturday’s important game at Norwich,” a club spokesman said.
“Tensions were understandably running high in the dressing room after Cardiff’s late equaliser, but the incident has been sensationalised in the media.”
Tempers are said to have flared in the home dressing room after Berahino gave the ball away with West Brom on the attack. Cardiff went down the other end and Daehli secured the Welsh club’s first away point since December 4 with virtually the last kick of the game.
It is said that one of Berahino’s team-mates blamed him for West Brom’s failure to pick up three valuable points. The Times understands that two players are thought to have traded insults in a verbal spat before another player stepped in and things turned physical.
Other team-mates are said to have then waded in as peacemakers in a bid to break up the brawl.
None of the players involved have been named but reports claim that Jeremy Peace, the chairman, stayed on until later than normal at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
Berahino took to Twitter after the match to apologise for what turned out to be a costly mistake. “Apologies for my mistake, cost the team the 3point,” the 20-year-old tweeted on Saturday evening.
West Brom’s inability to win only their second match under Pepe Mel has left them in the thick of the battle to remain in the Barclays Premier League. They are hovering dangerously over the relegation zone, only three points clear of Cardiff, who are eighteenth.
Sunderland’s 2-1 defeat by West Ham United last night is a boost to their prospects but Mel’s side would have been a further two points clear had they been able to keep hold of the late advantage Thievy Bifouma’s goal had given them three minutes into stoppage time.

EXCLUSIVE: James Morrison identified as West Brom player who punched Saido Berahino
SAIDO BERAHINO'S West Brom future is in doubt after his extraordinary dressing room bust-up.
Starsport can reveal the player who punched him in the face at the weekend was Baggies midfielder James Morrison.
England under-21 striker Berahino was left with a black eye and a lump on his head.
The two players came to blows on Saturday after the Baggies conceded a last-minute goal that cost them two vital points at Cardiff.
Players rounded on the young striker who was guilty of giving away possession in the build up to Cardiff's stoppage time equaliser.
Morrison took exception afterwards when Berahino stood his ground in the dressing room.
An eyewitness said the two squared up with Morrison swinging and catching Berahino in the face.
Berahino is understood to have "got a couple of digs in" and attempted to get Morrison in a head lock before the brawl was broken up by team-mates.
West Brom attempted to draw a line under the incident yesterday but Berahino's frustration that action hasn't been taken against Morrison could now cast doubt on his Baggies future.
