Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus strapped into high-tech knee recovery device as labels crutches: 'My loves'
Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus continues to combine PlayStation and a high-tech recovery system to aid his recovery from medial ligament damage.
The Brazilian has little to do but rest after getting injured during Manchester City's New Year's Eve draw with Crystal Palace, but is doing everything to make sure he's back on the field as soon as possible.
Jesus posted a series of pictures of his recovery on Instagram, showing off his personalised PlayStation controller as well as the Game Ready system and rather less high-tech crutches, which he described as 'my loves'.

Manchester City expect the striker to be out for up to six weeks with the injury, but he could be back in action sooner if the Game Ready system works as well as the company claims it does.
According to the official website, the leg sleeve, which was developed using NASA space suit technology, combines Intermittent Compression with Circumferential Cold Therapy in order to speed up recovery.
Using a large cooling box, ice cold water is continuously pumped through the sleeve to cool down the knee to 10 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, air is pumped into a separate chamber to increase and decrease the compression.
Using the system shows there will be no expense spared by Manchester City to get Jesus back on the pitch as soon as possible.
Although he is only the team's third-highest scorer with 10 goals, Pep Guardilola still considers him a key member of the squad and the Spaniard will want him fighting fit when the Champions League returns in February.
The Citizens are already considered champions-elect in the Premier League, but they will need every ounce of their quality to win what their billionaire owners really want: a European title.
