Ederson is hopeful he can recover from a thigh strain in time for Manchester City’s crunch clash with Liverpool.
The Brazil goalkeeper is a doubt for Sunday’s game at Anfield after being forced off at half time in Man City’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta on Wednesday.
His withdrawal was more of a precautionary measure and the player himself is believed not to consider the issue as serious.
But he was in visible discomfort as he left the San Siro, limping towards the team bus.
He is due to undergo scans on Thursday to assess the full extent of the injury.
Pep Guardiola confirmed it was too soon to determine if Ederson would be available for the trip to Premier League leaders Liverpool after watching his side draw in Milan.
"I don't know right now," said the City manager. "It's a muscular problem. It's not big, but he didn't feel comfortable and that's why we decided to make a substitution, but honestly right now I don't know."

Claudio Bravo will deputise if Ederson doesn’t recover in time, but he endured a miserable night after being sent off for a professional foul on Josip Ilicic, with full-back Kyle Walker having to don the gloves.
Guardiola added: “He's ready to play on Sunday. It is what it is. If Ederson can play he will and if not it will be Claudio. That's all.
"I know him and why should I have doubts about him? We've had incredible situations to overcome and we'll have to do it now.”
