Lyon have been hit by the news that Ederson's injury is worse than first feared and the Brazil midfielder will undergo surgery on Monday.
Ederson was forced off with an injury to his left leg minutes after making his Brazil debut in this week's friendly against the United States.
"Lyon announce the serious injury of their Brazilian international midfielder Ederson, victim Tuesday night of a total rupture of the hamstring of the left thigh," read a statement released by Lyon.
"Ederson will be operated on Monday afternoon at Lyon. The duration of his unavailability will be confirmed later."
The 24-year-old, who has been almost an ever-present since signing from Nice in 2008, is likely facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
