Jesus harbours no ill feeling after Otamendi 'fractured his eye socket'

The young attacker has said that his club colleague caused the injury purely by accident and has promised the damage is "nothing to worry about"

Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus has no problem with Nicolas Otamendi after suffering a facial injury at the hands of his Manchester City team-mate during the international friendly against Argentina.

Otamendi accidentally struck Jesus in the face with his arm in the closing stages of Friday's encounter in Melbourne, which ended in a 1-0 win for Argentina, and had to be taken off on a stretcher.

The injury did not initially appear to be too serious, but Jesus was released from the Brazil squad having reportedly sustained a fractured eye socket.
