Tottenham Hotspur have trained ahead of the return of the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino's side take on Bournemouth at their temporary home of Wembley on Saturday and will be looking to end their Premier League curse at the ground.
His players seemed to be in high spirits on Friday as they ran through a series of drills at their training centre in Enfield.

They were joined by long-term absentees Danny Rose and Erik Lamela, who continued to step up their recoveries from their respective injuries during the Friday morning session.
The Argentinian winger has not played for Spurs since the League Cup game against Liverpool in October last season. Rose and Lamela first trained with their Spurs team-mates again on Wednesday.
Dele Alli also looked to be having fun, while Hugo Lloris could be seen deep in conversation with manager Pochettino.

Harry Kane was also snapped as the England international looks to continue his stunning goalscoring form of recent weeks against the Cherries.
In a slight twist, Rose has been left out of Tottenham's club calendar for next year, which has led to suggestions he could be on his way to Manchester United.
Those claims are intensified by the fact that he is understood to want to play closer to his family home in Yorkshire in the near future.

And Rose's situation at the club seems frosty after he gave a revealing interview to a national newspaper on the eve of the season, saying he wanted the club to sign players he did not have to google.
But it seems as though Rose being left off the calendar is not an indication of anything particularly untoward.
The left-back has spent the start of this season on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury at the tail end of last season.
And that means he has not been photographed in action in Spurs' new Nike kit, which the players are all donning in the calendar for 2018.
