'He can't see properly' - Pep Guardiola gives injury update on Ederson after Man City goalkeeper rages after being taken off

Ederson suffered an eye injury after a collision with Tottenham's Christian Romero with City leading by a slender one-goal margin. The incident occurred when Ederson dived low to stop a cross and Romero accidentally struck him on his face at the back post with his knee. Despite remaining down for several minutes to receive treatment, Ederson continued briefly but misplaced his first pass, prompting Guardiola to replace him with Stefan Ortega shortly afterwards.

WHAT HAPPENED?

An enraged Ederson left the field frustrated and even argued with Guardiola on the touchline while making his way onto the bench. The Brazilian then kicked a bottle and broke down in tears as teammate Matheus Nunes consoled him. This marked the fourth time Ederson has been substituted due to injury this season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Guardiola shed light on Ederson's condition in a post-match interview, stating, "Ederson did not have a concussion; he had a problem with his eye. He could not see properly, so the doctor said I should change him. He had a kick in the eye, and it is swollen. The doctor told me he needed to be replaced. I didn't have an alternative".

WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

Adding to City's injury woes, Kevin De Bruyne was also substituted after he was kicked from behind by Pape Matar Sarr forcing a stoppage earlier in the game. De Bruyne struggled to continue and Guardiola revealed: "Kevin [De Bruyne] had a kick to the ankle and couldn’t run properly."
