Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus all smiles as he recreates trademark 'phone celebration' with his mother ahead of imminent first team return

Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus looks in high spirits as he prepares to make his highly-anticipated comeback from injury.

The Brazilian, who arrived at the Etihad in January, has been sidelined since suffering a fractured metatarsal in a Premier League clash with Bournemouth on February 13.

But he is now closing in on a return, with some reports suggesting the 20-year-old could be included in the squad for Thursday's showdown with rivals Manchester United.
