Gabriel Jesus to miss Man City's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Atletico Madrid

Gabriel Jesus will be suspended for Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid next week after he picked up his third booking of the competition in their win at the Etihad on Tuesday night.

Pep Guardiola's side were forced to overcome a resilient Atletico defence as they attempted to secure a first-leg lead ahead of the reverse clash at the Wanda Metropolitano next Wednesday. A moment of magic from Phil Foden finally unpicked the lock in the second half, allowing Kevin De Bruyne to hand City a 1-0 win.

Foden had been on the field a matter of minutes when he produced the standout moment of the match, though one of his teammates who was introduced alongside him in the 68th minute will not be available for the second leg. Jesus was walking a tightrope heading into the clash with Diego Simeone's side, knowing a booking would see him handed a one-match ban.
