Guardiola Provides Injury Update on De Bruyne, Ederson After Spurs Victory

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has given an injury update on Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson the Citizens’ 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Guardiola’s side secured a vital victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, putting them in pole position for a fourth consecutive Premier League title.

In the match, Erling Haaland scored two goals to secure the win for City, with the first coming from a De Bruyne assist. However, both De Bruyne and Ederson had to be substituted off due to injuries sustained during the game.

De Bruyne picked up an ankle knock from a challenge by Pape Matar Sarr, while Ederson suffered an eye problem following a collision with Cristian Romero. Guardiola confirmed that Ederson was replaced by Stefan Ortega due to the eye issue, while De Bruyne was unable to continue due to the ankle injury.

Guardiola expressed his hope that both players will be fit for City’s upcoming match against West Ham United, a game that could see them lift the Premier League trophy. The manager likened the final fixture to a crucial serve in a tennis match at Wimbledon, emphasizing the importance of securing victory in the title race.

Manchester City’s win over Spurs has propelled them to the top of the league table, with a two-point lead over Arsenal. The outcome of Arsenal’s final match against Everton will determine City’s fate in the title race.
