Arter to put personal heartache aside

Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter will put personal heartache to one side when he faces Burnley on Saturday.

The visit of the Clarets takes place on the first anniversary of the stillbirth of Arter's daughter Renee.

The 26-year-old starred in a 2-1 win over Manchester United just days after Renee's death last December.

"It will be a strange sort of moment against Burnley," Arter told BBC Radio Solent. "We see Renee's birthday as a milestone, which will be difficult."

Arter's family raised £13,000 through a charity auction in aid of other bereaved families in the months after Renee's death.
