Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City side faced a tough battle against Liverpool in a recent Premier League match, coming away with a valuable point. Despite taking the lead through John Stones, City struggled historically at Anfield but remain in the title race, trailing just a point behind Arsenal and Liverpool.

However, the victory came at a cost as goalkeeper Ederson joined Jack Grealish on the injury list. Ederson suffered a thigh injury after conceding a penalty and is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks. This setback will likely rule him out of the crucial match against Arsenal at the end of March.

Guardiola expressed concern about Ederson’s injury, stating that “it doesn’t look good.” The Brazilian goalkeeper’s potential return date is set for April 3, leaving City without a key player for important upcoming fixtures.

Meanwhile, Jack Grealish is also dealing with a significant injury that has left City struggling for control in the midfield. Grealish initially picked up the injury during a Champions League match but suffered a relapse during a game against Luton. Guardiola confirmed that Grealish will not be fit for the Manchester derby and highlighted the importance of his recovery.

As City navigates a challenging period with key players sidelined, Guardiola will need to find solutions to maintain their title challenge. With no confirmed return date for Grealish, City will have to cope with the absence of two crucial players in the coming weeks.
