Man City goalkeeper Ederson was happy to see two of his team-mates being nominated for the prestigious award, however, he questioned the absence of Rodri from the shortlist and deemed the Spaniard's snub as 'unacceptable'. Pep Guardiola's side, who are in contention to win their fourth consecutive Premier League title, lost just three matches in the current campaign against Arsenal, Wolves and Aston Villa, with all three defeats coming while Rodri was suspended.
WHAT EDERSON SAID
Speaking to , the custodian said, "There are good players, but I see Rodri as a great candidate who isn't on the list. I don't understand why he's not on the list either. Honestly, that's unacceptable. If you look at his year, his campaign, the last few seasons he's been playing and see that he's not on the list, it's absurd. I don't know what criteria they use to nominate players, but there are also great players competing.
"But I see Rodri as a great candidate to win and unfortunately, he's not on the list. So I think I'll be rooting for Phil to win because Phil is also having a great season, he's helped us a lot. This season he's scored more goals, provided more assists, been more consistent and more important to the team too."
