No player safe at Man City, says Jesus

AFP, LONDON: Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus says no player can feel his place is safe after Leroy Sane was dropped from the squad for the weekends Premier League match against Newcastle.
The Germany international, who arrived at City in August 2016, did not even make the bench for Saturdays 2-1 home victory for the defending champions.
Sane, who was not selected in the Germany World Cup squad, had featured in Citys four previous matches this season, although his only start, in the Community Shield, saw him hauled off at half-time.
Reports at the weekend suggested Pep Guardiola had not been impressed with his attitude and application -- something the manager denied in his post-match press conference -- but it appears the 22-year-old has some work to do to get back into favour.
Jesus admits it is a wake-up call for all the players.
It is normal with this amazing squad (a player can be left out), said the Brazil international.
On Saturday it was Sane, but in the future, its going to be me or other players too. Im going to work hard to avoid that from happening to me, though.
