Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: 'Gabriel Jesus back in training'

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola reveals that forward Gabriel Jesus has returned to training with the first team after a spell out with a knee injury.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed that Gabriel Jesus returned to first-team training on Friday.

At the end of 2017, Jesus sustained a knee injury during City's goalless draw with Crystal Palace and the Brazilian was soon ruled out for up to two months.

Jesus has upped his recovery in recent weeks, and Guardiola has acknowledged that the forward is closing in on a return to the first team.

At a press conference, the 47-year-old told reporters: "It's good news. I don't know when he'll be ready. He has done one or two weeks training alone and today is the first day training joining the team."

City face Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday night before playing Arsenal in the EFL Cup final on February 25.
