- Brazilian striker will miss at least three City matches
- Setback leaves club without a senior centre-forward
Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out for at least three weeks after the Brazil Football Federation revealed it had been informed by Manchester City that the striker suffered an injury in Monday’s win at Wolves.
The CBF stated that Jesus would not be fit for the internationals against Bolivia and Peru on the 9 and 13 October. The absence of Jesus means Guardiola will have no first-choice striker for at least three matches – the Premier League meetings with Leicester and Leeds and a Carabao Cup tie with Burnley – because Sergio Agüero’s knee injury needs up to another seven weeks of recovery.
