​Man City hedge their bets on Gabriel Jesus return

Manchester City are still unsure when striker Gabriel Jesus will be back in action despite the Brazilian's return to training last week.

Boss Pep Guardiola thinks it is unlikely the 20-year-old will be back for the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal later this month.

Guardiola said: "When is the semi-final? Two weeks? I think he's short. We thought the semi-final of the Champions League but unfortunately it's gone.

"Hopefully the (FA Cup) final if we arrive there. I don't know, but he's getting better."
