Gabriel Jesus could miss the remainder of the season after Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admitted he is likely to be sidelined for “two to three months”.
The Brazilian, who got his City career off to a phenomenal start, with three goals in four Premier League outings, suffered a fractured metatarsal during the 2-0 win at Bournemouth on Monday night.
He has since come through surgery and now faces a lengthy spell in recovery.
Speaking to the club's official website, Guardiola said: "Last night, he made an operation and it was good. Now it’s important he recovers well and he’s going back when he will be fit, at the end of the season or next season.
“Now we send all our support to him and his family and we are waiting until he is back.
“People say [he will be out] between two and three months."
