Gabriel Jesus 'scarred' by goalless World Cup woes with Brazil

The Manchester City striker admits his struggles for domestic form this season can be traced back to a difficult showing for his country in Russia

The 21-year-old headed to Russia over the summer being tipped by many to help lead a challenge for global glory.

Brazil, though, were unable to find their spark, with talismanic skipper Neymar short on match sharpness and his supporting cast failing to deliver.
