A Manchester City player could be set to start against Wolves on Saturday, with Ederson Moraes’ fitness for the contest in doubt. Despite reports that Ederson does not have an injury and could return to full training soon, it is unclear if he will start the match. The knock he suffered against Nottingham Forest does not seem serious, but Ederson may take a few days to rest and recover.

Despite Manchester City’s recent run of results not being the best, Wolves are capable of causing problems for them.

In the absence of Ederson, Ortega is expected to step up and make his fifth start in the Premier League against Wolves. His commanding presence and ability to make brilliant saves will be crucial if Wolves try to trouble City, especially during set-pieces. Ortega has proven himself as a capable goalkeeper and will be looking forward to the opportunity to showcase his skills against Wolves.
