Sunderland lose Jones for two months

SUNDERLAND boss Roy Keane has confirmed that striker Kenwyne Jones will miss up to two months of the new season through injury.

The 23-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international will consult a surgeon once again over knee ligament damage, with his club hoping an operation will not be required. Keane said: “Clearly there is knee ligament damage, but we are hopeful.

Jones was injured in a collision with goalkeeper David James during the friendly clash with England on June 1 at Port of Spain.
