Man City face goalkeeper crisis with Ederson and Steffen set to miss Leicester clash

Veteran Scott Carson is set to start after Brazil barred players from appearing in the Premier League after missing World Cup qualifiers

Manchester City are facing a goalkeeper crisis, with first choice Ederson and understudy Zak Steffen ruled out of Saturday’s game at Leicester City.

The Premier League champions will be forced to select veteran third-choice Scott Carson, who completed a permanent move on a free transfer from Derby County in the summer.

Former England international Carson had been on loan at City for the previous two seasons and made his only appearance for the club against Newcastle at the end of the last campaign - after the title had been secured.
