Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus suffered a fractured metatarsal on Monday with fears he could miss the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old Brazil striker limped out of City’s Premier League win at Bournemouth on Monday Night Football after just 13 minutes and underwent tests on Tuesday morning.
The club is unsure how long the player will be sidelined but it could mean him being out of action for up to three months.
A statement from the club read: “Manchester City can confirm Gabriel Jesus suffered a fractured metatarsal during the 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Monday night.
“He will undergo further examinations in the coming days to establish the extent of his lay-off.
“We wish Gabriel a speedy recovery and we will keep you updated on his progress via the club’s official channels in the coming days.”
