Ederson is set to bounce back from his horror collision to make his Champions League debut for Manchester City against Feyenoord.
The
goalkeeper has suffered no adverse reactions to getting a boot in the
face from Sadio Mane, a foul which saw the Liverpool man get a straight
red card on Saturday.
After
lying prone for eight minutes, receiving oxygen and then being
stretchered off in a neck brace, fans and players alike feared he had
sustained a serious injury.
But following checks for fractures at
the sports medical institute adjacent to the City Football Aacademy, he
was back in the dugout to see the end of the Blues' 5-0 victory.
Pep Guardiola felt
the first European game of the season, in Rotterdam on Wednesday night,
might be too soon, and he also has a decision to make on Vincent Kompany.
But Ederson has been back in training and is already pencilled in for a seat on the plane to Holland tomorrow afternoon.
Guardiola said last week that he felt Kompany may just miss the one
game, but he is unlikely to risk his skipper after the Blues coped well
without him.
Yaya Toure is expected to be in the travelling party despite being left out of the matchday squad on Saturday.
Rumours
that the big Ivorian midfielder was absent with a bad back proved
unfounded, and he watched the game from the stand, with Ilkay Gundogan
and Fabian Delph included instead.
