The Brazil custodian was hurt in the win over Nottingham Forest last Saturday, specifically to his shoulder.
Ederson, Manchester City’s first-choice custodian, is expected to make a comeback on Saturday when the champions play Wolves in the Premier League.
The Brazil international had a shoulder injury during last weekend’s victory at Nottingham Forest, and the club was concerned that he might miss the majority of the remaining games.
However, the issue has not materialised into a major one, and the 30-year-old is once again eligible to play when City hosts Wolves at the Etihad Stadium in a match that is essential to their title chances.
Despite having a game in hand, City is still one point behind leaders Arsenal going into the weekend schedule.
Guardiola’s team has four Premier League games left compared to the Gunners’ three. Guardiola’s team also plays in the FA Cup final later this month.
Although Guardiola has downplayed the importance of City’s prior achievements, the team is still the clear favourite because of their track record of winning many trophies.
He remarked, “I would love to think it does, but I’m not sure.” “We need to demonstrate it against Wolves tomorrow and in the upcoming games.”
We are aware that we must win all 12 points since Arsenal is a formidable and reliable opponent.
It is up to us. That is all the complexity there is to it. Although no one is aware of it, I would want to declare that what we have done in the past will occur this season.
Guardiola, on the other hand, has downplayed his contribution to Phil Foden’s growth as the new Football Writers’ Association men’s football player of the year.
The 23-year-old midfielder from England was declared the prize winner on Friday following an impressive season in which he finished with 24 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.
Guardiola gave the academy graduate his first-team debut in 2017 and has since monitored his development, but he maintained that Foden should take the credit.
“It’s not about that,” he stated, “but thank you so much for giving me incredible credit.” It has to do with how much he plays and learns, as well as his work ethic and mindset.
As managers, we are able to make recommendations based on the opponents, but the final say remains with them.
“Congratulations to him and the writers, if that is how the writers decide. He has had a great season playing.
“He gets more mature every year, as seen by the number of games and minutes he plays. He knows the rules of the game, but we still need to go on. He’s still quite young.
“It depends on him, simple as that,” Guardiola responded when asked how much Foden may still improve.
“The mindset of wanting to spend my life for my game, for my career, and to do it more and again. He is responsible, just like every other player.
“You can always get better until you retire and pass away.”
