Stoke City to investigate training ground incident

Stoke City have announced that they have launched an internal investigation into an incident within the dressing room.

Recent reports had claimed that striker Kenwyne Jones was the target of a prank when he found a pig's head in his locker at the Clayton Wood training ground.

A statement on the club's official website said: "The club takes seriously reports of an incident at our training ground this afternoon. A full internal investigation will be carried out and those responsible for any unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in accordance with the club's disciplinary procedures."

It is believed that a number of squad members were left feeling angry following the alleged prank.
