Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has withdrawn from the Brazil squad for their World Cup qualifiers this month.
The popular goalkeeper had been included in Brazil's squad for their final scheduled qualifiers vs Chile and Bolivia. Brazil have already secured qualification for Qatar 2022 and can ensure they top the South American qualification standings with victory in their two fixtures in the next week.
However, Ederson won't play in the two games and will return to City after Brazil confirmed that goalkeeper Everson will replace him. Reports in Brazil suggest Ederson reported to the national team with illness, so the decision was taken to withdraw him from the squad.
