West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Irvine admits he knew nothing of Saido Berahino's drink-driving incident until this week.
The 21-year old striker was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving in October before being released on bail but Irvine says he did not even hear about the episode until earlier this week when he was in attendance at Aston Villa versus Southampton.
"I found out on Monday while I was at the Aston Villa game," said Irvine.
"The phone call was a shock but then, of course, we don't know all the circumstances and the details of the investigation. Until then I can't actually make any kind of decision one way or another.
"I haven't spoken to him about the investigation because I don't think that's anything to do with me. I have spoken to him about the football side. He's trained really well [on Thursday] morning. The club are looking at everything that's going on."
The Albion boss added: "I'm not necessarily feeling that he should have come to me. I don't really know exactly what the circumstances are and until the investigation is concluded I probably won't.
"I've just got to deal with the football side."
