Ederson could be back for Man City against Feyenoord

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson could face Feyenoord tonight in their Champions League opener.

The Brazilian looked to have suffered serious injury in a nasty collision with Liverpool's Sadio Mane last weekend.

Ederson was caught in the face by a high boot and received treatment for eight minutes on the field before being carried off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask.

He has since returned to training, wearing rugby-style protective headgear, and is in contention to face the Dutch champions having travelled to Rotterdam with the squad.

Manager Pep Guardiola will make a late decision but suggested on the eve of the Group F match that Ederson was training well.
