Have Manchester City suffered an injury blow ahead of pivotal Brighton clash?
Manchester City take on high-flying Brighton today in a pivotal Premier League fixture for both teams. Both teams are in the race to secure Champions League football for next season. Today’s match looms as a crucial fixture in that race. Heading into the game it does appear that Manchester City could have potentially suffered a crucial injury blow for today’s match. The availability of Ederson is a story to watch for when the starting lineups are announced for the crucial match.
ESPN has reported that Ederson has been withdrawn from Brazil’s squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina. Brazil manager Dorival Jr explained that Neymar, Danilo and Ederson are out of the Brazil squad due to injury. In a statement released through the CBF the Brazil manager explained: “Following the original call-up, the Brazil national team’s medical department has been updating us regarding the situation of all the players, especially Danilo from Flamengo, Neymar from Santos, and Ederson from Manchester City. After the evaluations carried out, we decided to call up Lucas Perri from Lyon, Alex Sandro from Flamengo, and Endrick from Real Madrid to replace the injured players.”

Ederson’s availability for Manchester City’s clash with Brighton is now a story to watch for. His withdrawal from the Brazil squad does appear to suggest that he may have sustained an injury. Pep Guardiola hasn’t spoken of the potential issue during his pre-game press conference ahead of City’s clash with Brighton. So it remains to be seen if Ederson is available for the match at the Etihad. If he isn’t you’d expect to see Stefan Ortega start in goal for Manchester City.
Summary.
The hope is that Manchester City haven’t suffered yet another injury blow. Ederson could have a vital role to play against Brighton with his distribution. But the way this season has gone you wouldn’t be surprised if another injury concern has arisen for Pep Guardiola’s side. Ederson’s availability for the pivotal fixture does seem to be up in the air. That will be known when the teams are announced ahead of Saturday’s crucial fixture. It is now a story to monitor when the Manchester City squad arrives at the Etihad on Saturday.
