Man City goalkeeper Ederson a major doubt to face Arsenal in PL title showdown

  /  autty

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is facing up to four weeks out with the leg injury he sustained against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Brazilian was forced off in the second half of the 1-1 draw shortly after colliding with Darwin Nunez which had resulted in Liverpool's equalising penalty.

Ederson is now due to miss three to four weeks, making him a major doubt for the Premier League game against league leaders Arsenal on March 31 - live on Sky Sports; kick-off 4.30pm - after the international break.

The Brazil international will definitely be out for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final, although his deputy Stefan Ortega was expected to start having played in the rest of City's matches in the competition this season.

Man City play Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium before travelling to face Crystal Palace after their game against Arsenal.

City are third in the league after the draw at Anfield, a point behind Liverpool and the table-topping Gunners.
