City keeper Ederson to miss rest of the season with facial injury

MANCHESTER CITY goalkeeper Ederson will miss Sunday’s final Premier League game and the FA Cup final, the club have confirmed.

The Brazilian was forced off with a facial injury during the victory at Tottenham on Tuesday, which put the club on the brink of an unprecedented fourth successive title.

Scans have confirmed Ederson sustained a small fracture to the right eye socket following a collision with Cristian Romero.

Despite concerns at the time, it is understood the 30-year-old did not suffer a concussion.

Ederson did initially try to play on after receiving lengthy treatment following the incident in the second half of the 2-0 win, but was withdrawn by manager Pep Guardiola a few minutes later.

A statement from the club read: “Manchester City can confirm that Ederson will miss the final two games of the season due to a small fracture of his eye socket.”
