Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, who plays for Turkish side Fenerbahce, was hit by a thrown object during his side’s 4-0 win over Kayseri Spor in Saturday’s Super Lig match.
According to The Mirror, the former Manchester City goalkeeper was hit by a hard object thrown from the stands.
Ederson fell to the ground in pain, holding his face, as the TV camera moved in for a close-up.
Footage shared after the match showed the camera mounted on a long arm; as soon as Ederson noticed it, he reacted angrily and shoved it away, drawing jeers from the stands.
Despite the unsportsmanlike incident, Ederson maintained his concentration to keep a clean sheet in Fenerbahe’s 4-0 win, while Kayseri Spor could now face disciplinary action, the British newspaper added.
