Manchester City’s Ederson suffered an eye injury during their game against Tottenham, ruling him out for the rest of the season. Video footage showed the goalkeeper being knocked out after a clash with a Spurs defender. The decision was made for Stefan Ortega Moreno to replace Ederson, who made some impressive saves in the game.
There were hopes that Ederson would be back for Manchester City’s crucial game against West Ham but the club confirmed that he will miss the remaining games of the season due to a small fracture in his eye socket. Despite criticism from a head injury charity, it was confirmed that Ederson never lost consciousness on the pitch and followed all medical protocols.
