Gabriel Jesus injury should not derail Guardiola's new-look Man City

The Brazilian looks set to miss up to three months but he's been just one of many factors that have boosted the Blues recently

Manchester City fans have been rocked by reports that Gabriel Jesus could face around two to three months on the sidelines with a broken bone in his foot.

While there is yet to be any official confirmation from City, well-placed sources in South America indicate the 19-year-old has fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

The injury is no doubt bad news for both the player and for City, and a blow to Pep Guardiola’s plans for the coming weeks, but it need not be the end of the world.
