Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has been cut from the Brazil squad for the games against Chile and Bolivia, report Globo Esporte.
The popular goalkeeper had been included in Brazil’s squad for their final scheduled qualifiers vs Chile and Bolivia.
Brazil are already qualified for the Qatar World Cup, but Ederson will have been keen to be part of the squad, as he continues to try and convince manager Tite that he should be considered ahead of Liverpool’s Alisson.
But the Manchester City goalkeeper has withdrawn from the Brazil squad for their World Cup qualifiers this month.
Globo Esporte say Ederson ‘presented with gastroenteritis’ as the Brazil team met. He’s been replaced by Everson, from Atlético-MG, who is getting his second call-up.
Ederson joins senior internationals Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker in not playing a single minute for their retrospective nations during this international break.
Following the news, Man City fans are hoping Ederson enjoys some rest and is well when the Premier League restarts.
Here are some of their best responses:
