Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus on the road to recovery after successful operation on fractured metatarsal

Gabriel Jesus has declared it is time to 'now just recover' after going under the knife in Barcelona to repair his fractured metatarsal.

The teenager underwent a successful operation on Thursday night after visiting Pep Guardiola's favoured physician Dr Ramon Cugat.

Jesus is likely to be absent between eight to 12 weeks and is expected to return to Brazil to form part of his recovery. His goals were missed as City played out a 0-0 at Huddersfield in the FA Cup.
