Manchester City Suffers Significant Setback as Ederson Faces Four-Week Injury Layoff, Ruling Him Out of Key Premier League Clash with Arsenal
Ederson’s Injury Against Liverpool Deals Manchester City a Significant Blow, Sideline Expected to Last Up to a Month.
Ederson sustained a leg injury in a late challenge on Darwin Nunez, conceding a penalty to the hosts, which Alexis Mac Allister converted to equalize.
Although Ederson briefly remained on the pitch, he was later substituted with Stefan Ortega taking his place.
The absence of Ederson will be keenly felt, particularly in the crucial fixture against Arsenal.
However, his unavailability extends to other significant matches, with Ortega expected to step in for the quarter-final clash against Newcastle and the league fixtures against Aston Villa (April 3) and Crystal Palace (April 6) possibly being too soon for Ederson’s return.
The injury deals a substantial blow to Manchester City’s pursuit of regaining their European crown, as the Brazilian is likely to miss the Champions League quarter-final first leg scheduled for April 9/10.
