Gallery: Squad prepare for Luton

Andoni Iraola’s squad ramped up preparations for the visit of Luton Town on Saturday during another intense training session on Friday.

Iraola and his staff put the players through their paces as they look to maintain their excellent current form against the promoted Hatters.

Luton beat Coventry City on penalties in a dramatic Championship play-off final in May, completing a remarkable rise from non-league to the Premier League in ten years.

Tomorrow’s encounter will complete the set for the clubs having met in all four divisions in 17 years, having been the bottom two in League Two 15 years ago this month.

Iraola confirmed he had no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of Rob Edwards’s team with the Cherries having come through a punishing schedule of three games in seven days. 

Goalkeeper Darren Randolph continued to train with the group, although Hamed Traorè was laid low by illness.

Alex Scott and Max Aarons, sidelined by respective knee and hamstring injuries, both stepped up their recoveries by working on the grass.
