Why Is Scott Carson The Only Choice For Man City vs Leicester City
Moreover, manager Pep Guardiola has no other options as his reserve goalkeeper Zack Steffen is suffering from Covid-19. If Carson plays at the King Power Stadium against Leicester City, it will be his second appearance in the last 10 years. But, why Ederson is sidelined, and why Carson?
So, here are all the details about Scott Carson starting the Premier League game against Leicester City.
Know Who Is Scott Carson, His Age, Manchester City Contract, Salary And Net Worth
Scott Carson earned £18,000 per week, £936,000 per year playing for Derby County as a goal-keeper and has gone onto accrue £7,072,000 over his career. Scott Carson is 36 years old and an Englishman.
The 36-years old former Liverpool man joined Manchester City in 2019 on loan. Furthermore, in 2021, the deal was made permanent and now he is a Manchester City player. The previous season, he appeared in the game against Newcastle United when the League title was secured by City. However, the last match before that came for West Brom in 2011.
Explained Why Has FIFA Handed A Five Day Ban To Brazilian Players
FIFA has handed a five-day restriction ban on Ederson. According to rules, if the Football association asks for a ban on their players, it is mandatory to impose. Brazil imposed the ban because Ederson didn’t travel to Brazil for international duty. The ban will sideline Ederson for the match against Leicester City. Although, he will return on the nets in the Champions League group stages.
If Ederson would have travelled to Brazil, he would have had to keep himself in isolation for 10 days, as per the rules. Brazil is on the hot-list of the UK and any player travelling from the country have to follow the isolation.
Manchester City reserve goal-keeper Zack Steffen is also sidelined due to the infection of Covid-19. Currently, he is in isolation and will return next week. So, the last option for Pep Guardiola remains Scott Carson. However, Premier League clubs have decided to contest the decision which means there are still chances of Ederson playing the match.
