Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil has confirmed that Jefferson Lerma should be available for the visit of Manchester United this weekend after suffering a broken nose against Crystal Palace.
Lerma was on the receiving end of what looked to be a punch from Palace's Joachim Andersen during their 2-0 defeat to Roy Hodgson's side. Despite the loss, Bournemouth's Premier League status was secured after Leicester lost against Liverpool and Leeds United drew with Newcastle.
The midfielder managed to play the full 90 minutes with the injury and O'Neil has confirmed he will likely wear a protective mask for Saturday's welcoming of the Reds. However, attacker Hamed Traore, who has been absent since the start of April, will not be risked despite returning to training this week.
