This was their web report: http://sportwitness.co.uk/gabriel-jesus-chose-surgery-long-term-benefit-rather-returning-4-weeks/
It could well be accurate. I am sure Denilson has said these things. We can hope he is mistaken as so far the only reports seem to emanate from here.
This is a fairly normal approach I think:

Where there is more severe Tarso-Metatarsal ligament damage, the prognosis is not so good. This ligament damage causes instability at the Lisfranc joint complex, which is evident on x-ray as widening between the Tarso-Metatarsal joints. If a person attempts to return to a sport such as soccer with this damage they will experience foot pain and have problems with activities such as kicking and turning. In the long-term, this instability can pre-dispose to osteoarthritis at the Lisfranc joint. For this reason many orthopaedic consultants advocate surgical fixation to restore the original Tarso-Metatarsal anatomy.
