Ederson ruled out! Man City confirm goalkeeper will not feature in FA Cup final after suffering eye socket fracture in Tottenham clash

The Brazilian goalkeeper was involved in a nasty second-half collision with Spurs centre-back Cristian Romero and was eventually replaced by deputy Stefan Ortega after initially being cleared to continue by medical staff. Ederson left the field with swelling under his right eye and <a href="https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/injury-update-ederson-63851458" target="_blank">City have confirmed</a> he has suffered a small fracture to his eye socket.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ederson will subsequently miss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-2024-25-kit/blt981e921c67b98903" target="_blank">City's final Premier League match</a> against West Ham on Sunday, where a win will secure a fourth consecutive crown for Pep Guardiola's side. The South American stopper will also be unavailable for the Cityzens' FA Cup final clash against local rivals Manchester United, although Ortega would likely have played even if he were available - as the German is often the first choice in domestic cup competitions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There has been 15 cases of a goalkeeper being substituted in the Premier League this season. Amazingly, Ortega replacing an injured Ederson accounts for four of them.

DID YOU KNOW?

Ederson will be gutted at having to watch from the bench as City potentially claim two more trophies in the space of a week. But with the Copa America just around the corner, the goalkeeper will know he cannot feel sorry for himself one bit - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/brazil-copa-america-2024-squad-dorival-junior/blt3c3e8b96dd3771ab#cs4fda2b6e45773d04" target="_blank">with a potential starting role for Brazil between the sticks up for grabs under new boss Dorival Junior.</a>
