Ederson fit for FA Cup clash with Bournemouth | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola says Ederson is back in contention after missing our last Premier League game with Brighton and Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers.

The goalkeeper is set to be in the squad when we head to Bournemouth on Sunday for our FA Cup quarter-final clash with the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium at 16:30 (UK).

City had 15 senior players away on duty for their countries during the international break, including fellow keeper Stefan Ortega Moreno with Germany.

Ortega has generally started domestic cup matches but Guardiola says he hasn’t decided who will wear the gloves for the sixth round game with Bournemouth.

“Some of [the players] returned a little more tired and need recovery,” he said at his pre-match news conference.

“[Ederson] trained the last two days.”

Asked who will start the game, the boss added: “We will see tomorrow.”

Rodri will not be involved against Bournemouth as he continues his recovery from surgery on an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The current Ballon d’Or holder has returned to individual training but Guardiola says we will be careful with his return to make sure that he doesn’t suffer any setbacks.

City head to the United States in June for the FIFA Club World Cup and the boss says he will listen to advice from the medical team about returning him to the pitch.

“I don’t know, I hope and wish,” Guardiola said about his involvement in the summer.

“It will be nice if he could play tomorrow but we don’t want to do a wrong decision right now and take a step back.

“The doctor says he’s injured for six, seven months. He’s behaving really well on the pitch already.

“Competitive [football] is completely different. We will see. I rely on what the physio doctor says.

“We don’t want to use him for two weeks and then not have him for a long time afterwards. We have to make sure that he’s fine.”
