Fernandinho urges patience with returning Man City star Gabriel Jesus

The Brazilian is closing on a comeback following a foot injury, but his fellow countryman has sought to curb expectation levels around the youngster

Fernandinho has urged Manchester City supporters to be patient with Gabriel Jesus as the exciting talent prepares to return to action.

The 20-year-old forward has been sidelined since suffering a fractured metatarsal in a Premier League fixture with Bournemouth on February 13.

It was suggested at one stage that the knock would bring a promising debut campaign in English football to an end, but the Brazilian is now closing on a comeback.
