FANS were left in stitches after spotting where Bournemouth’s injured stars were sat inside Dean Court this afternoon.
A few crocked Cherries stars watched their team-mates lose 2-0 to Premier League leaders Liverpool from a seemingly hidden separate stand.
Bournemouth were without nine players against the Reds on Saturday, with Andoni Iraola still in the midst of an injury crisis.
However, Evanilson, Julian Araujo, James Hill, Marcos Senesi and Alex Scott all watched on from inside the Vitality Stadium.
But instead of sitting up in the stands behind fans, or in a directors box, the players were spotted looking on from a seemingly makeshift booth.
Eayle-eyed viewers saw all five players sitting on old blue furniture in an additional setting area, high behind the corner flag.

The stand looked as though it was makeshift and relatively out of sight.
It resembled a balcony seat in a theatre stall.
One fan wrote X: “Bournemouth have got so many injured players that they have had to build a temporary stand for them all!”
While a second said: “The fact that Bournemouth have a whole booth of injured players and they’re still jugging like this is crazy.”
