Gallery: Big smiles ahead of Stoke

The AFC Bournemouth squad have been out on the training ground preparing for this weekend's home game with Stoke City. 

The Cherries take on Michael O'Neill's side for a 3pm kick-off at Vitality Stadium on Saturday and will be looking to cement their position in the top two of the Championship table. 

The lads were in good spirits on the training ground, the likes of Adam Smith and Ethan Laird out on the grass having been sidelined with injury. 

Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Cam Plain, both from the development squad, were also involved in the session, which was taken by head coach, Scott Parker.
