Manchester City are currently facing a problem at the moment following the latest developments about their Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson Moares. Pep Guardiola and his men will take on Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City side this weekend in their next English Premier League fixture and its a match that they're looking forward to winning by all means as they want to try as much as possible to start picking up maximum points as the season proceeds. Pep Guardiola is currently facing a huge blow about his team selection ahead of the crunch tie against Leicester City at the weekend as he could be without the services of his first-choice goalkeeper Ederson and second-choice Zack Steffen.

There's a current ongoing battle between the Brazilian Football Association and the English Premier League because of the international break. The Brazil national team was denied access to calling up their players who ply their trade in England's top-tier football league as there were concerns about the spread of the coronavirus. Brazil is one of the countries that are on the Red list made by the Premier League and they insisted that they would not allow the players to travel to their countries for their international break fixtures.

As a result, a lot of Brazil's first-team stars in the league including Fred (Manchester United), Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Fabinho (Liverpool), Alisson (Liverpool), Firmino (Liverpool), and Ederson (Manchester City) were not allowed to travel to Brazil and I'm response to that, the Brazilian Football Association sent a letter to the Premier League demanding that none of their players participate in any league game this weekend until after five days of isolation. City's second goalkeeper Steffen is out with Covid-19, meaning that they may have to call on their third keeper for this weekend's match.
