Hopefully only 2 weeks. Always seem a bit hit and miss out comeback dates regarding injuries.

Yup. Hope it does not drag.

Huge blow,i would have loved to see him play his rightful part in Sunday's game.

So unlucky.

Suppose we started Foden instead... big dropoff? or not?

Apples and oranges.

Just watched Sundays training vid after Bournemouth, Gabby fit as a fiddle in that which is a big help, I hope hes injury free now for the rest of the season.

Pretty disappointed with his development. Of course he hasn't had a normal run of games and Sergio is in fantastic form but he seems like he's stagnated a bit. He's now clearly a 2nd choice striker with no signs to start the vital games.

I think Pep will start against Schalke

Is that necessarily a problem? A second striker who's consistently capable of scoring 15-20 goals per season is exactly what we haven't had since Dzeko left. Not every young player with high potential has to replace their world class first team counterpart. It's the same with Foden - maybe he doesn't have to be good enough to take Silva's throne in three/four years, maybe he'd be just as valuable taking Gundogan's role. Jesus might have been signed as an eventual replacement for Aguero in theory but he's a great second striker and even if he never becomes anything more, we can sign someone to replace Aguero and keep Jesus ticking over.

What more do you want from the lad? Sergio was out and Jesus was bagging goals (not bothered about the games/opposition) and then as soon as Sergio was back he was dropped. Harsh from Pep but then Aguero bagged back to back hat tricks so what can you do.

Sergio is one of the very best strikers of his generation. Jesus is competing at the highest level and without as much as a complaint about his amount of football.
