Manchester City's Ederson Sidelined For Season Closure With Eye Injury
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson will be absent for the final two games of the season due to a fractured eye socket. The injury occurred during a match against Tottenham, where Ederson collided with Cristian Romero. Despite initially continuing after treatment, he was later replaced by Stefan Ortega.
The Citizens are set to face West Ham on Sunday as they aim for a fourth consecutive Premier League title. Following this, they will compete against Manchester United in the FA Cup final on May 25. The absence of Ederson is a significant blow to the team as they approach these crucial fixtures.
