The Brazilian goalkeeper limped off with a recurring groin injury in the second half of the recent 5-2 comeback win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League and missed the subsequent late victory at Everton as well as Tuesday night’s last-gasp triumph against Aston Villa.

The 2-1 quarter-final success over Bournemouth represents one of five wins that the Citizens have picked up in their last six games, prevailing in each of their last three versus Crystal Palace, Everton and most recently Aston Villa, where a last-gasp Matheus Nunes strike saved the day.
