Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says that Gabriel Jesús will be in shape to be considered for selection in no time. The 19 year old has been on holiday for the last month, but joined City officially this month.

He finished the Brasileirão season with Palmeiras in December, with the club winning its first Serie A title since 1993. Jesús is now in Manchester ready to train with his new club. Guardiola says that having only missed 3 weeks of training, he won’t need much conditioning to be available for selection.

“Let’s wait and see,” he said when asked about Jesús’ availability, “Of course he is a young player, he has been three years without a vacation, he is in shape, he has only been two or three weeks without training, so I do not think we will need to spend much time to make him be prepared to get on the pitch,” confirmed the Spaniard.
