ManUnited Phil Jones out for eight weeks after surgery

Manchester United defender Phil Jones is facing up to eight weeks on the sidelines after having surgery on a knee injury, the club has announced. 

Jones, 20, has yet to make an appearance this season after hurting his back during pre-season and suffered this latest injury in training. "Phil Jones has had surgery on a knee meniscus tear sustained in training," said a United spokesman.

"It will require six to eight weeks of rehabilitation."

Jones, whose last competitive appearance for United was against Sunderland on the final day of last season, is understood to have suffered his latest injury in training earlier this week.

The England international was sent for a scan on his right knee which has confirmed he requires an extensive period of rehabilitation.
