Available, as expected Lerma (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Aston Villa.

Impact Lerma isn't expected to have suffered a very serious injury, but the condensed schedule will sideline him for three weeks. The midfielder goes the full 90 in almost every week, and his ability to play in defense is valuable as well. It's hard to see exactly how he will be replaced, though Rob Holding (ankle) could be brought straight into the starting XI.

Impact This can be considered a slight upgrade for Lerma, though Palace and Bournemouth weren't too far apart in the table this past season. Lerma started at least 31 matches each of the last four seasons and will provide some nice depth in the Palace midfield, no matter the manager. There's a chance Lerma moves right into the XI, taking time from Jeffrey Schlupp, among others, depending on the formation deployed.
