Man City injury update: Ederson, Josko Gvardiol, and Savinho latest news and return dates

Manchester City suffered a double blow as they were dealt a 2-0 defeat by Tottenham over the weekend.

Pep Guardiola's side were stunned by goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha as Thomas Frank's visitors stole all three points from the Etihad Stadium.

They also lost a key player in the first half.

City were looking to follow up their 4-0 win over Wolves in style as they returned to play in front of their own fans for the first time this term, but Frank's side executed the Dane's masterplan to perfection.

They travel to Brighton next weekend as they look to get back to winning ways at the Amex.

Will any players currently on City's injury list return this weekend? Here's what we know...

City's long-time No1 goalkeeper was completely absent from the trip to Molineux on Saturday, with a bout of gastroenteritis the reason given by the club.

His omission from the squad came, however, amid ongoing transfer rumours linking the Brazilian shot-stopper to Turkish giants Galatasaray, who are understood to have made an opening bid of €10m for him.

Fabrizio Romano reported that Ederson wants to leave the north-west, with "advanced talks" apparently underway between City and Galatasaray and the Manchester club said to be demanding more for their 'keeper.

Against Spurs, he featured on the bench, with James Trafford given the nod ahead of him.

Potential return date: Brighton (a) on Sunday, August 31, 2025

City's new left-back was taken off injured in the first half of the Spurs defeat, replaced by Nathan Ake.

He was treated for what seemed to be a knee injury, although Guardiola was vague on the Algerian when asked about him post-match.

"I don't know, I didn't speak with the doctors yet," he said of the full-back.

Another key figure missing for City was Gvardiol, their £100million man from RB Leipzig.

The Croat did not make the matchday squad against Spurs, with Guardiola revealing that he was "not ready" to be included as he recovers from an unknown niggle.

The Brazilian winger was revealed to have picked up an injury against Palermo in pre-season, and was subsequently ruled out by Guardiola for "a few weeks".

He may return before the end of August, in which case the trip to Brighton could mark the 21-year-old's first league appearance of the campaign, but Savinho might also remain out until after the September international break, when City host a Manchester derby.

All that assumes he's still a City player past transfer deadline day, of course, with this weekend's opponents Spurs understood to be pursuing a deal despite Guardiola's wishes that Savinho remains at the Etihad for "many, many years".

Potential return date: Manchester United (h) on Sunday, September 14, 2025

The Croatian missed the Club World Cup campaign entirely after having surgery on an Achilles problem.

He's likely to be a longer-term absentee than the others, with Guardiola saying this ahead of the start of the season: "We have three [defensive midfielders], I would say, with Kova injured until September or October - hopefully earlier."
