Ederson has been ruled out of Manchester City s blockbuster top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Ederson was taken off at half-time of City s chaotic 1-1 Champions League draw with Atalanta on Wednesday at San Siro with a muscular problem .
Substitute goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was later sent off, which left full-back Kyle Walker to take ownership of gloves.
Head coach Guardiola confirmed at a media conference on Friday Ederson is not fit to play but is confident Bravo can fill the sizeable void.
He s [Ederson] not able to play tomorrow, I don t know [how long he is out], he said.
Sunday he cannot play. We have another top keeper. Claudio Bravo can do it too, we won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup thanks to Claudio. He has a lot …
Lewis Cook has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and could be out for up to nine months, Premier League club Bournemouth have confirmed.
The 21-year-old midfielder sustained the injury during the Tuesday s 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town – a result that lifted the Cherries up to seventh in the table.
Cook won his maiden England cap during March s friendly against Italy before returning to the Under-21 set-up.
He will now miss the rest of the season, ruling him out of contention for the Three Lions opening Euro 2020 qualifiers and the inaugural Nations League Finals in June.
AFC Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook will be sidelined for six-to-nine months with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, a club statement read.

Chelsea s deal to bring Olivier Giroud across London from Arsenal ends a striker search that has endured as one of the most bizarre and entertaining features of the transfer window.
Giroud s pedigree at the top of the game for club and country makes him a valuable addition for Antonio Conte, but there was a point at which it seemed any warm, tall body would do as the Italian searched for a point of reference for his attack.
Of course, he had Diego Costa, but a text message famously put paid to that last year.
From a veteran to a stricken, injury-plagued international and an unheralded workhorse, we look at some of the forwards touted for improbable moves to Stamford Bridge in a month when the goals dried up for record signing Alvaro Morata.

Looking to make it back-to-back Premier Division victories this weekend, St Patrick s Athletic will welcome Drogheda to Richmond Park on Friday night.
St Patrick s Athletic
Starting with the hosts, while St Patrick s Athletic would have been disappointed by that action-packed 3-2 defeat against Bohemians on the road earlier in the month, The Saints managed to bounce back last time out. While they might have struggled to find top gear, Alan Mathews men picked up a 1-0 victory against Derry City last weekend on home soil and they find themselves sat in pole position to secure a European spot. Holding a commanding eight-point buffer from dropping out of the top-three, the mood in St Patrick s camp should be at a real high. Eventually seei…
Saudi Arabia coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has warned his players that their Asian Cup history counts for nothing heading into the 2019 edition, telling the team they must earn their victories.
North Korea are Saudi Arabia s first opposition in Dubai on Tuesday, as the Falcons look to get their Group E campaign off to a positive start, ahead of further contests against Lebanon and Qatar.
Saudi Arabia have one of the most successful Asian Cup histories to look back on, with only Japan s four wins trumping their three titles, and they are expected to ease through the group.
Their past two visits to the final have ended in defeat, though, while their last title success was in 1996.
As such, Pizzi has reminded the current crop that they cannot afford to be arrogan…
Virgil van Dijk, Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum all scored to earn Netherlands a 3-0 win over Germany and left Joachim Low s men still without a win or a goal in the Nations League.
Liverpool defender Van Dijk pounced to nod home the loose ball on the half-hour mark after Ryan Babel had struck the crossbar with a header following a corner from Depay.
Germany had chances to grab a leveller after the break, with substitute Leroy Sane steering a glorious opportunity wide.
They were also denied what appeared to be a clear-cut penalty in the final 10 minutes when Arnaut Groeneveld tripped Matthias Ginter.
However, Depay added an 86th-minute second on the counter-attack and Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum rifled in a third in stoppage time, securing Oranj…
Jude Bellingham has everything to win the next Ballon d Or , Serbia skipper Dusan Tadic insisted after his side fell victim to England s star midfielder.
Bellingham was the hero with his first-half header ensuring Gareth Southgate s side got off to a winning start at Euro 2024, as they edged out the Eagles 1-0 in Gelsenkirchen.
The Real Madrid midfielder built on the momentum from his memorable debut season with Los Blancos, for whom he scored 23 goals and helped win LaLiga and the Champions League.
The second player after Michael Owen to score at the World Cup and European Championship before turning 21, he is also the first to do so for the Three Lions while playing his club football outside of England.
The match-winner!

Dani Carvajal s sublime second-half volley secured a hard-earned 1-0 LaLiga win for Real Madrid at Real Betis.
Carvajal had not scored for Los Blancos since November 2019, but the fit-again full-back marked his return to the side with a second-half finish any striker would have been proud of.
The Spain s international s strike at at Benito Villamarin on Saturday was enough for Carlo Ancelotti s side to make it two wins out three and go joint-top of the table.
Betis had their chances but Madrid, reportedly hopeful of signing Kylian Mbappe before the transfer window closes next week, raised their game in the second half and deserved all three points.
Vinicius Junior was rewarded with a start following his double in the draw against Levante last weekend and…
