Gabriel Jesus' friends & family denied re-entry to UK over visa issues

Friends and family of Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus were turned away from Heathrow airport in January after their travel visas had lapsed.

Jesus has relied upon his close inner circle to help him adapt to life in England since completing a £27 million from Palmeiras in January 2017.

The striker's brother, Felipe, and two friends, Higor Braga and Fabio Lucio, live with Jesus in an exclusive apartment block in Manchester city centre.

And while Jesus impressed fans with his performances on the pitch, his friends quickly earned cult status thanks to their exploits on Instagram.
