Gabriel Jesus Set To Be Out Of The Season Injured With De Brunye Injured Too
Brazilian attacker Jesus was visibly upset on the sidelines and had to be consoled by head coach Pep Guardiola, before Sergio Aguero replaced him in the 23rd minute.
Initial suspicions were that it could be a cruciate knee injury, similar to those suffered by team-mates Benjamin Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan, and he is reported to have left Selhurst Park on crutches.
Later on, De Bruyne was clattered by Jason Puncheon as Man City counterattacked following Luka Milivojevic's saved penalty and his injury could also see him sidelined for a significant chunk of time.
Guardiola played down fears that Jesus could be out for the rest of the season and hoped that they would be without the forward for up to two months at full-time.
"Yeah, he's injured, hopefully not much, hopefully one or two months he'll be out," he told BT Sport.
