Even though Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 5-2 in a thrilling comeback, Pep Guardiola's injury list is still getting longer and longer, and it's beginning to become a worry as the season draws to a close. The physical condition of important players like Ederson, Phil Foden, and Erling Haaland is of more than just passing interest because the championship race, Champions League berths, and Club World Cup are still up for grabs.
In the second half against Palace, the Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, who is frequently the silent catalyst for City's build-up play, provided a brilliant assist before hobbling off with what looked to be a groin injury. It is hoped that Foden will make a comeback for City's upcoming away game against Everton on Saturday, April 19. Haaland has not yet been given a definitive return date, but he will be ready by the conclusion of the season and the Club World Cup.
