Man City boss Guardiola: We need more from Gabriel Jesus

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his squad need to keep sharing the goals.

Sergio Aguero has returned to the club's training ground after self-isolation but his manager maintained on Tuesday that the Argentine is some way short of match fitness.

City's other recognised striker, Gabriel Jesus, has scored just three goals in 12 Premier League appearances this term, with Ilkay Gundogan leading the way on seven from midfield.

"Normally when you are on top of the league or winning titles, you have one or two top, top scorers," Guardiola said before Wednesday's trip to Burnley.

"Now we don't have it and I don't know if we will have it (this season). Sergio will be back soon hopefully but the numbers of Gabriel in the Premier League are not... not much.

"We don't have a guy who dribbles through players to score a goal every game. It's difficult to find one player to score two goals in one game. We don't have this specific quality."
