Three shots Monday
Lerma registered three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 0-0 draw versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Lerma tied a season high with three shots in Monday's draw, and he put one on target, the lone on-target shot by Crystal Palace in the match. He also recorded one accurate cross and one chance created on the attack. He kept his sixth clean sheet of the season as well, contributing one interception, one clearance and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.
Option from bench
Lerma (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Tottenham.
Analysis: Lerma was expected to return for Thursday's match against Spurs, and that has come to fruition, with the midfielder landing on the bench. He was previously serving as a center-back before the injury, earning five straight starts between that spot and the midfield. The question moving forward is whether his versatility will provide him more time moving forward, although the defense does appear to be at full health again.
