Lerma (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Tottenham.
ANALYSIS

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.

Lerma (undisclosed) is back available for Thursday's clash against Tottenham but is not ready to start and could be limited to around 15 minutes, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Jefferson is back in the squad but not ready to start. He trained with us and is ok. It's quite early, but if we need him for 15-20 minutes at the end we have him. He's available for 15-20 minutes. That means it is either Riad or Clyne will play in defense. They are the options we have and one of them will start."
