Gallery | Defenders return ahead of Bournemouth

Craig Dawson, Santi Bueno and Pedro Lima have all returned to training this week after their recent absences as preparations for the visit of Bournemouth in the Premier League ramp up.

Dawson was kept out of Saturday's victory over Fulham by illness, while Bueno was brought back early from international duty with Uruguay the previous week due to a groin injury, but both centre-backs returned to the grass at Compton Park this week.

Lima has been out of action for the last month after going off injured in the under-21's Premier League International Cup draw with Dynamo Zagreb at Aggborough.

But he took a step closer to getting back match fit out on the training pitches this week, as Gary O'Neil put the squad through their paces ahead of a possible third successive Premier League win - something the Old Gold haven't achieved since last December.
