Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus admits he doesn't know when he'll recover from his fractured eye socket but insists it is 'nothing serious'

Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus says he doesn't know how long it will take to recover from the fractured eye socket he sustained on international duty with Brazil, but insists the injury is 'nothing serious'.

Jesus clashed with his club team-mate Nicolas Otamendi late on in Brazil's 1-0 friendly defeat to Argentina on Friday.

He was taken off on a stretcher and scans later diagnosed a fracture in the bone that protects his left eye.

After arriving back in Brazil on Sunday, Jesus revealed he may require an operation for the fracture but says the injury is nothing to be too concerned about.
