Jones could face Reds

Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones has a chance of returning to action at Liverpool on Sunday.

The Trinidad and Tobago international has missed the last two games with a hip flexor injury, but is back in training and may well be involved.

However, defender John Mensah (hamstring) is struggling after limping off at Aston Villa in midweek, while midfielder Andy Reid remains on the sidelines with a similar problem.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Carson, Fulop, Bardsley, Hutton, Turner, Ferdinand, Kilgallon, Da Silva, Cattermole, Cana, Zenden, Richardson, Malbranque, Henderson, Campbell, Bent, Jones, Benjani, Meyler.
