Pep Guardiola has suggested that Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson could make a return to action against Crystal Palace after being sidelined with a muscle injury. The Brazilian has been a key player for City, featuring in most of their Premier League games before getting injured in a match against Liverpool. Guardiola’s update on Ederson’s fitness is a positive sign for City, especially as they are still in the running for major titles and need all their key players available.

Despite Ederson’s potential return, Guardiola may consider keeping Stefan Ortega in goal for the match against Palace, as the German made key saves in City’s previous games against Arsenal and Aston Villa. Guardiola will need to manage his squad carefully, as City have a small squad and are facing a hectic fixture schedule with multiple competitions to contend in. Having Ederson back in contention will provide added depth and quality to City’s squad during this crucial period of the season.

Guardiola’s update on Ederson’s fitness comes ahead of City’s clash with Crystal Palace, where they will look to continue their winning form after a convincing victory over Aston Villa. With the race for major titles heating up, having all key players fit and available will be crucial for City’s success in the remaining games of the season. Guardiola will need to make strategic decisions to ensure he can rotate his squad effectively and avoid any further injuries.
