Manchester City suffer a huge blow as Ederson is out of today’s clash with Arsenal | OneFootball

Manchester City take on Arsenal today in a crucial Premier League fixture for Pep Guardiola’s side. They will be hoping to take advantage of yesterday’s results to entrench themselves in the top four with a win at the Emirates Stadium. But they have suffered a massive injury blow ahead of kick-off. Ederson will miss today’s match after he has been deemed not fit enough to play.

Joe Bray of Manchester Evening News broke the news that Ederson is out of today’s match on X. Bray tweeted that City’s number-one keeper hadn’t travelled with the Manchester City squad for today’s clash with Arsenal. The news was confirmed when the starting lineups were announced only moments ago.

Ederson wasn’t deemed fit enough to play today. That information was shared on mancity.com when the starting lineups were announced on the official Manchester City website. Stefan Ortega starts in goal for today’s match. Ortega will be eager to impress in what is a massive fixture for both team’s today.

It is a blow for Manchester City to lose Ederson for today’s match. The Brazilian international has returned to his best in recent weeks and his performance last weekend against Chelsea was pivotal in City’s 3-1 win. It now remains to be seen just how long Ederson will be out for or if it is just today’s match against Arsenal that he will miss.
