Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has a goalkeeping decision to make as Ederson is set to return from injury and Stefan Ortega has been performing well in his absence. Ortega has started the last three matches and helped secure important points for the team. Guardiola is facing a dilemma as to whether Ortega will keep his place in the team, especially with Ederson expected to return imminently and the team facing multiple matches across different competitions this month.

Ortega has made it clear that he wants to stake a claim as Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper, but Ederson’s return could complicate matters. Guardiola has praised both Ortega and Ederson, stating that they are exceptional keepers and a guarantee for the team. Ortega has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, adding further speculation about his future with Manchester City.

Guardiola has remained tight-lipped about who will start in goal in the upcoming matches, indicating that the decision could come down to discussions with the goalkeeping coach. Despite Ortega’s impressive performances, Ederson’s strong track record this season could see him regain his spot as the first-choice goalkeeper. With Ortega possibly eyeing a move back to the Bundesliga, his future at Manchester City remains uncertain.
