Ederson is not playing for Manchester City currently due to a combination of illness and ongoing transfer speculation. He missed a match against Wolverhampton because he was suffering from gastroenteritis, which led the club doctor to keep him in Manchester for recovery. Additionally, there are active transfer talks, with Galatasaray reportedly interested in signing him, and Manchester City monitoring potential replacements such as Gianluigi Donnarumma. Although Ederson remains the No. 1 goalkeeper officially, his future at the club is uncertain amid these developments. Backup goalkeeper James Trafford has taken the starting spot recently and performed well, adding to the decision dynamics. Guardiola faces a dilemma on who to select as goalkeeper going forward while Ederson recovers and the transfer situation unfolds.
