Gabriel Jesus Injury: Manchester City Forward Injures Foot vs. Bournemouth

Manchester City starlet Gabriel Jesus injured his foot during Monday's Premier League game against Bournemouth, but manager Pep Guardiola said he hoped the blow wasn't a significant one.

As shared by City's official Twitter account, the Brazilian lasted just 13 minutes before he was replaced by Sergio Aguero:

Speaking to Sky Sports (h/t ESPN FC) after the Citizens' 2-0 victory, Guardiola gave an idea as to when the club would find out the extent of the injury: "Tomorrow morning we will know exactly. Hopefully—I will pray tonight—it will not be a big issue."

Jesus has been a revelation since joining the squad in January, pushing for a starting position after just a few outings and beating out Aguero in the process.

The 19-year-old nearly found a late winner on his debut against Tottenham Hotspur and scored three goals in his last two Premier League outings, which were wins over West Ham United and Swansea City.

Along the way, the youngster has drawn plenty of praise. Compatriot Ronaldinho sees big things in his future, via Squawka News:

Jesus rose to fame with Palmeiras and made his mark during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, where he played a key part in Brazil's run to the gold medal.

While fellow rising star Gabriel Barbosa departed for Inter Milan after the tournament, Jesus opted to see out the season with his Brazilian club before linking up with City in January.

That proved to be a great decision, as Jesus was able to continue his development in a familiar environment and arrived at the Etihad Stadium in midseason form. Barbosa has struggled in Italy and has barely made an impact for the Nerazzurri.

This injury is a setback for Jesus and City, but the Citizens have an incredible amount of depth in the attacking third. The aforementioned Aguero is a superb option in his own right, and should Jesus miss an extended amount of time, 20-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho can fill in as well.
