The Brazilian had gone five Premier League games without a goal before bagging a brace on Tuesday
Pep Guardiola insisted Manchester City's squad harbour no doubts over Gabriel Jesus' ability to step up and fill the void left by the injured Sergio Aguero.
Jesus ended a five-match scoreless run in the Premier League with City's first two goals in a 4-1 rout of Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday.
Aguero has missed the past two league matches with a thigh injury sustained in a 2-1 win over Chelsea, and is also set to be out for the Manchester derby on Saturday.
