Pep Guardiola confirmed that Gabriel Jesus will be out for a month for “a muscular issue”, so that the Brazilian joins in the list of casualties to Kun Aguero, a footballer he was replacing at the start of the season. The Argentine, injured since July, is still more than a month away from returning to competition.
