Manchester City has been put in a precarious situation, thanks to Nathan Ake. The Cityzens saw their 1-0 lead reduced to 1-1 during their ongoing clash against Liverpool following a costly error from the player. His error has also cost the team big time, with goalkeeper Ederson taken out of the field following an injury attempting to cover up Ake’s fatal error.

The second half of the contest saw Nathan Ake produce a loose back pass towards the keeper, allowing Darwin Nunez the opportunity to pounce upon it. However, he was denied a chance to score as Ederson produced a full stretch to tackle the player, taking him down inside the box. His tackle saw Liverpool earn a penalty, with Alexis McAlister comfortably beating the injured keeper to level things up.

Minutes after the leveler, Ederson was once again seen taking to the ground clutching his knee in pain, forcing Pep Guardiola to replace the goalkeeper with backup option Stefan Ortega. The German short-stopper stepped up to the opportunity as he stopped Liverpool from finding the winner, helping his side finish the game with a draw.

Ederson’s injury is surely a disappointment, considering the important games ahead of the team. Pep Guardiola’s side is yet to face the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham, and Aston Villa. Any chance of playing without their first-choice goalkeeper would be a massive blow for the team.

Will Manchester City miss Ederson in the event of an extended injury?

Pep Guardiola will be scratching his head after Ederson was taken off the field following a knee or hamstring injury. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been a key player for the team between the posts, and his absence could be a big blow for the team in the coming weeks. While City has Stefan Ortega to step in as a replacement, the German hasn’t inspired that much faith this season.

To add more to his trouble, Manchester City’s defense has been struggling to maintain its composure, with Ederson forced to act outside his box on multiple occasions.
