MANCHESTER CITY goalkeeper Ederson will miss Sunday’s final Premier League game and the FA Cup final, the club have confirmed.
The Brazilian was forced off with a facial injury during the victory at Tottenham on Tuesday, which put the club on the brink of an unprecedented fourth successive title.
Scans have confirmed Ederson sustained a small fracture to the right eye socket following a collision with Cristian Romero.
Despite concerns at the time, it is understood the 30-year-old did not suffer a concussion.
Ederson did initially try to play on after receiving lengthy treatment following the incident in the second half of the 2-0 win, but was withdrawn by manager Pep Guardiola a few minutes later.
A statement from the club read: “Manchester City can confirm that Ederson will miss the final two games of the season due to a small fracture of his eye socket.”
