Gabriel Jesus has undergone a successful surgery on his injured foot.

The Manchester City striker had the operation on his broken metatarsal in Barcelona with Dr Ramon Cugat on Thursday night.

Jesus is expected to be sidelined for 8-to-12 weeks and is expected to return home to Brazil as part of his recovery.

Upon leaving hospital on Sunday evening with his right leg in a protective boot, the 19-year-old posted a pic on Instagram with the accompanying message: "Agora e so recuperar" which translates as "now just recover".
