Ederson Blow: Manchester City Title Defense Faces Uncertainty with Goalkeeper Four Weeks Absence

Manchester City title defense has taken a hit as goalkeeper Ederson will be sidelined for up to four weeks due to a thigh injury. The setback could see him miss crucial matches including the encounter with league leaders Arsenal on March 31.

Ederson sustained the injury during Manchester City 1-1 draw with Liverpool leading to Stefan Ortega replacing him. While Ortega is an experienced backup, Ederson absence poses challenges for City bid for a record fourth successive league title.

The injury rules Ederson out of Brazil upcoming friendlies against England and Spain. Ortega who previously stepped in for Ederson in January expressed confidence in his readiness to contribute.
