Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson will miss his Manchester City team in its two decisive matches against West Ham in the final stage of the English Football League, as well as against Manchester United in the cup final, according to what the club announced today. The club said in a statement, “Manchester City confirms that Ederson will miss the final two matches of this season due to a minor fracture in his eye socket.”
Ederson (30 years old) came out in the match in which his team beat Tottenham 2-0 in a postponed match from the 34th round, after which it returned to the lead, two points behind Arsenal. Tests showed that the Brazilian goalkeeper suffered a slight fracture in his right eye socket after his collision with Tottenham’s Argentine defender, Cristian Romero.
Ederson tried to complete the match after his injury, but he left the field after Spanish coach Pep Guardiola asked to replace him with German Stefan Ortega, who blocked a very dangerous chance from South Korean Heung-Min Son in the last minutes, before Norwegian Erling Haaland decided the result with a second goal.
City will play its next match in the league, in which it is possible to be crowned champion for the fourth consecutive season, on Sunday against West Ham, before meeting its neighbor United in the FA Cup final on the 25th of this month.
