Manchester City’s number one Ederson is closing in on a return to full fitness and he could well be in the starting lineup to face the Eagles.

The Brazilian international has not featured since before the international break, having injured himself when giving away a penalty during the 1-1 draw versus Liverpool.


Ederson has been working hard to recover from the thigh problem but he has been out of action for the best part of a month now.

Stefan Ortega has performed well in his absence, but Guardiola says Ederson is doing “much better” and may be included in the matchday squad this weekend.


Expected Return Date – Saturday 6th April v Crystal Palace
