Adam Smith missing for Bournemouth

Bournemouth will again be without defender Adam Smith because of a thigh problem for the Premier League match against Stoke.

Forward Jermain Defoe remains absent having fractured his right ankle.

Defender Tyrone Mings continues his recovery from a back problem.

Stoke boss Paul Lambert will assess new signing Badou Ndiaye before deciding whether to hand the midfielder his Premier League debut.

Senegal international Ndiaye signed a four-and-a-half-year contract on transfer deadline day after Stoke agreed a £14million fee with Galatasaray, but the 27-year-old did not train with his new team-mates until Friday.

Lambert has no new injury concerns but could opt to make changes up front after the impact made by substitute Peter Crouch in the midweek draw with Watford.
