Gabriel Jesus set for shock return against Arsenal in FA Cup semi, says Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has revealed that Gabriel Jesus could play for Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal just 10 weeks after suffering a broken metatarsal.

The Brazil star was expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery for the injury he sustained at Bournemouth on February 13 in only his fifth game for the club.

But the 20-year-old forward, who was an instant hit following his £27million move from Palmeiras in January, has made a remarkable recovery and will be included in City's squad for Wembley.
