Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola revealed that he substituted goalkeeper Ederson Moraes during their match against Tottenham Hotspur due to a facial injury sustained after a collision with an opponent. Despite wanting to continue playing, Ederson was unable to see properly after the incident, leading to the decision for him to be replaced by another goalkeeper.
The Manchester City doctor made a sensible decision to prioritize Ederson’s safety by informing Guardiola about the severity of the injury and the goalkeeper’s inability to see clearly. While Ederson may have wanted to continue playing through the pain, it was important for his well-being that he was substituted and given the opportunity to rest and recover from the injury.
In hindsight, Ederson will likely understand and accept the decision made by Guardiola and the medical team to substitute him during the match against Tottenham. The goalkeeper will likely be hoping to recover in time to start the next game against West Ham and continue helping Manchester City in their final matches of the season.
