Coming as a very sad news to Manchester City, the 19-year old may be sidelined for up to three months.
According to reports, the Brazil striker could be sidelined for up to three months, although City have not put a timescale on his recovery.
Reports explain that he has suffered fractured fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot.
Gabriel had made an impressive start to his career in England since completing a £27 million move from Palmeiras in January, starting City's last three Premier League matches and scoring three times.
He went down clutching his right foot after chasing a through ball from Raheem Sterling, having appeared to suffer a knock a couple of minutes earlier in a challenge by Simon Francis, in the first half of Monday's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth and received treatment on the field before making way for Sergio Aguero at the Vitality Stadium.

City confirmed he will now undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury.
In a statement on their official website, City said: "He will undergo further examinations in the coming days to establish the extent of his layoff. We wish Gabriel a speedy recovery."
Jesus had scored three goals in three league appearances prior to the trip to the south coast, having arrived in Manchester from Palmeiras last month.
A three-month lay-off would leave Jesus struggling to make a return to first-team action by the end of the season, with City's final Premier League fixture scheduled for May 21 at Watford.
The injury setback means Aguero, recently linked with a move from City in the summer, is now set for an extended run in the side.
Gabriel was pictured in sad mood in his protective boots.
City are already without midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who joined in the summer, for the rest of the season after he damaged his cruciate knee ligaments in December.
