The Injury Blow
During Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, Ederson suffered a muscle injury while fouling striker Darwin Nunez, resulting in a penalty for the opponents. Despite attempting to continue after initial treatment, Ederson was eventually substituted for Stefan Ortega.
Ederson's absence will force him to miss the upcoming Premier League encounter against Arsenal on 31 March, as well as the FA Cup quarter-final against Newcastle. Additionally, he will be unavailable for international duty due to the extent of his injury.
Contingency Plans
In Ederson's absence, German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega is likely to step in for key matches, including the fixtures against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. City will need to adjust their strategies to compensate for the absence of their dependable shot-stopper.
