Man City is concerned that Ederson's injury may prevent him from competing in both the Premier League and the FA Cup.

Manchester City are waiting to learn if Ederson will be out for the rest of the season after injuring his shoulder in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

The goalie, who was replaced at halftime after being injured in a clash with Forest's Willy Boly, left the City Ground with his arm in a sling.

"It doesn't look good," said manager Pep Guardiola. "We see tomorrow with the doctor."

Stefan Ortega replaced Ederson against Forest, and the Brazilian may now miss the remaining Premier League games against Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham, as well as the FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Ortega has made 17 appearances this season, keeping a clean sheet against Arsenal in the Premier League and Tottenham and Chelsea in the FA Cup, and he also appeared in the 3-3 tie with Real Madrid after Ederson returned from injury.

Guardiola believes City cannot afford to drop a point if they want to keep the title. Arsenal defeated Tottenham earlier on Sunday, and the City boss stated, "I'd rather they lose." They produce a nice effect. There are four games remaining. I believe they won't lose any points, and we know what to do."

City are now mathematically certain of finishing in the top four, which is Guardiola's primary goal each season.

"Wow, I'm going to celebrate tomorrow," he told me. "My CEO and owner will be very pleased. The most essential goal was to qualify for the Champions League, which we achieved with four games remaining. Big congrats to the club and its players."

Guardiola believed the field at the City Ground provided City with fortunate escapes when it forced Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood to miss two excellent opportunities.

He explained: "At times, we struggled. We were fortunate that the surface was so dry today, as the chances they missed were the reason. We were fortunate today that the pitch was in this condition."

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for
