“after all I have done for man city-One of the hardest days of my career’ – Man City’s Ederson hits out after report he was ‘affected’ by praise for team-mate Stefan Ortega

In the final Premier League match of the season between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City’s goalkeeper Ederson was substituted out due to an injury while his team was leading 1-0. Ederson’s replacement, Stefan Ortega, stepped in and made a crucial save, preventing Son Heung-min from scoring an equalizer. This key moment helped Manchester City secure their Premier League title in the season’s last match against West Ham.

According to The Athletic, Ederson was moved by the positive feedback and praise that Ortega received for his impressive save. Despite this, Ederson addressed rumors on social media regarding his feelings about Ortega and his future. The 30-year-old goalkeeper denied the claims of dissatisfaction and explained that his decision to potentially leave, despite interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, was influenced by the difficult circumstances he faced.

In an Instagram post, Ederson clarified, “I want to correct the incorrect information shared by The Athletic about my alleged discontent with a teammate. The day of the injury was one of the hardest I’ve faced in my career. I sustained a bone injury that prevented me from participating in the final games of the season and potentially representing my country in the Copa América.

At that moment, my primary concern was to continue playing and help City defend our title. However, the intensity of the game and the injury’s impact on my vision ultimately prevented me from performing as I wanted to. My focus now is on recovering and preparing for the upcoming season.”
