Sunderland Striker Jones Could Miss First Two Months of Campaign
Sunderland's manager Roy Keane has confirmed that striker Kenwyne Jones will miss up to two months of the new season through injury. The 23-year-old will consult a surgeon once again regarding knee ligament damage, with his club hoping an operation will not be required.
"Clearly there is knee ligament damage, but we are hopeful," said Keane. "We've got two or three weeks to play with yet but it would certainly rule him out for the first month or two whatever happens."
Jones was injured during Trinidad & Tobago's friendly with England on June 1 at Port of Spain when he was involved in a collision with goalkeeper David James.
