Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson will miss Sunday's final Premier League game and the FA Cup final, the club have confirmed.
The Brazilian was forced off injured with a facial injury during the victory at Tottenham on Tuesday which left the club on the brink of an unprecedented fourth successive title.
Scans have confirmed Ederson sustained a small fracture to the right eye socket following a collision with Cristian Romero.
Despite concerns at the time, it is understood the 30-year-old did not suffer a concussion.
Ederson did initially try to play on after receiving lengthy treatment following the incident in the second half of the 2-0 win, but was withdrawn by manager Pep Guardiola a few minutes later.
Meanwhile Luke Shaw's availability for Euro 2024 looks in jeopardy after Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said the injured left-back is a major doubt for next weekend’s FA Cup final.
The 28-year-old full-back has only managed 15 appearances in an injury-interrupted campaign, with his last coming three months ago in the narrow win at Luton.
Shaw’s return from his latest muscle injury was expected in early May but Ten Hag recently revealed the Euro 2020 final goalscorer had suffered a setback in his rehabilitation.
The United boss says he will struggle to make the FA Cup final in nine days, which is a concern for club as well as country as Gareth Southgate names his provisional England squad on Tuesday.
Asked about Shaw and Harry Maguire, who has missed three matches with a muscle complaint of his own, Ten Hag said: "For England I can’t say (if they are available), it’s not up to me.
"But for the cup final, we’re working on (it) and I think Harry Maguire has a fair chance that he will be available. We plan (for) him.
"Luke is more complicated. In this moment, let’s say it’s a less chance that he will make it but there is still a very small, reduced chance.
"He had the setback and now we have to find out how far he is."
