Ederson has expressed his disbelief and disappointment at the fact that his Manchester City teammate Rodri was not included in the shortlist for the Premier League Player of the Season award. He described it as ‘unacceptable’ and questioned the criteria used to nominate players. Despite Rodri’s impressive performance throughout the season, which included eight goals and 14 assists as a holding midfielder, he did not make the list of nominees.
The season is coming to an end, and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is aiming to secure two more trophies – the Premier League and the FA Cup. The shortlists for the Premier League Player and Young Player of the Season awards have been released, with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland among the nominees.

Ederson and many City fans agree that it is unfair and disrespectful for Rodri to be snubbed for the Player of the Season award.

Ederson’s comments highlight the discrepancy between Rodri’s contributions and the lack of recognition he receives in award selections.
