Manchester City suffered a blow as Gabriel Jesús will miss the club’s last three games before the foreign break.
The 23-year-old retired from the Brazilian squad for his next foreign matches against Bolivia and Peru on October 19 and 13 after the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) demonstrated Friday that he had been alerted to an injury suffered by the striker on Monday victory 3-1 in Wolves.
“On Wednesday, the English national team contacted Brazilian national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, reporting that the player was detected after Monday’s Premier League match against Wolverhampton. “
Jesus’ injury was a shock, with the Brazilian betting 90 full minutes and scoring the win at Molineux, while City manager Pep Guardiola revealed last week that Sergio Aguero could be out for another two months due to a knee injury, Sky reports.
The Brazil foreigner was not included in a youth squad for Thursday’s Carabao Cup victory over Bournemouth, with 17-year-old Liam Delap starting as a City forward and scoring the first goal.
After the match, Guardiola claimed that he had only thirteen compatible players at his disposal for Leicester at Etihad Stadium, while Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Aymeric Laporte, Joao Cancelo and Oleksandr Zinchenko remain on the sidelines.
