Fit for bench
Alderete (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Chelsea.
Analysis: Alderete has returned to play Sunday, although only in a limited capacity, with the defender fit for a bench role. He will hope to find the field for some minutes, as he served as their lead center-back much of the campaign. That said, he heads into the final match of the regular season with nine clean sheets in 32 appearances (32 starts).
Late call to play Sunday
Alderete (undisclosed) will be a late call for Sunday's game against Chelsea, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "It might be difficult for [Omar] Alderete - we'll make a call after training tomorrow."
Analysis: Alderete was subbed off during last week's clash against Everton, and while the move was thought to be due to a precautionary measure, it seems a final call on Alderete's availability will be made after Saturday's training. Luke O'Nien could start in place of Alderete if the Paraguay international isn't able to play. Alderete has started in 32 of his 33 EPL appearances this season, averaging 6.57 clearances per game.
