Impact Lerma had started all 24 matches for the club this season before being held out against Arsenal on Saturday. In his last five outings, the midfielder registered one goal on five shots (one on target), 23 clearances and three chances created. Given his more defensive positioning, Lerma shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive production even once cleared to play.

Out with injury Lerma was not involved in Saturday's defeat against Arsenal due to an undisclosed injury, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil told the Bournemouth Daily Echo after the game.

Impact Lerma "felt some tightness" after last weekend's loss to Manchester City and was ruled out of the Arsenal game on Saturday, the first time this season in which he's been unavailable for a Premier League match. Joe Rothwell replaced him in midfield, but Lerma will hope to return by the Liverpool clash next weekend.

Good to go Tuesday Lerma (knee) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Lerma is good to go out of the break after dealing with a knee issue the past couple weeks. He's been a regular in Bournemouth the first half of the season despite a managerial change and that probably won't change, though he's managed just 14 shots and five chances created in 16 starts.

Scores in draw Lerma scored and fired two others shots (one on-target) in Bournemouth's 2-2 draw with Fulham on Saturday

Impact Lerma's goal on Saturday was a well-taken strike just inside the penalty area from a Dominic Solanke pass. He was unlucky not to chalk up a second when a headed effort was well saved at point blank range by Bernd Leno. Overall the Columbian's work rate was high, he made important defensive blocks and was active marshaling the Cherries midfield. His goal scoring effort was neutralized by a penalty he conceded that led to Fulham's equalizing goal; he held Aleksandar Mitrovic as he attempted to meet a free kick cross. From 10 appearances (all starts) he has scored two goals.

Impact Lerma was one of Bournemouth's more dangerous players on Saturday, almost scoring with his shot on target and making a positive impact in defensive duties when needed. The regular starting midfielder is an exciting fantasy addition as he rolls his sleeves up to shield the backline when needed and injects energy into the right of midfield in attack. He does have a very direct style of play which has led to him receiving 40 bookings, the most of any EPL/EFL player, since joining Bournemouth in 2018. He has controlled himself well since Bournemouth's return to the EPL, this was his first yellow card of the season. From eight appearances (all starts) he has scored once.
