Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson may miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury sustained during a match against Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola expressed concern about the severity of the injury and mentioned that a doctor’s assessment was needed. Stefan Ortega, Ederson’s backup, stepped in for the second half and helped secure a victory for Man City. Despite the setback, Ortega has proven to be a capable replacement during previous games when Ederson was unavailable.
Ortega is set to start in Man City’s upcoming matches against West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Wolverhampton Wanderers as Ederson awaits a diagnosis on his shoulder injury. The German goalkeeper has shown his skills in previous games and has kept seven clean sheets in 17 appearances this season. Although Man City are just one point behind Arsenal in the title race, they have a game in hand to potentially secure the lead.
The Premier League title race is becoming intense as the season nears its end, with both Man City and Arsenal vying for the top spot. Guardiola’s concern about Ederson’s injury adds to the pressure as they face crucial matches against tough opponents. Ortega’s performance as a backup goalkeeper has been commendable, giving Man City confidence in their goalkeeper lineup despite Ederson’s potential absence for the remainder of the season.
