Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson could make a remarkable comeback and play in this evening’s Champions League opener at Feyenoord.

The Brazilian looked to have suffered serious injury in a nasty collision with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane last weekend.

Ederson was caught in the face by a high boot and received treatment for eight minutes on the field before being carried off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask.

The £35million summer signing did suffer facial wounds that required eight stitches but there was no concussion and no fractures.

He has since returned to training, wearing rugby-style protective headgear, and is in contention to face the Dutch champions having travelled to Rotterdam with the squad.

Manager Pep Guardiola will make a late decision but suggested on the eve of the Group F match that Ederson was training well.
