United defender suffers injury set back

 

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has suffered yet another injury setback in his return to first team football after having a leg brace fitted, reports The Sun.

 

Jones, 24 suffered knee ligament damage in training a fortnight ago after closing in on a return after a lengthy absence.

 

It was thought the versatile defender would only be sidelined for a month but the injury is now worse than expected after a brace was fitted to stabilise the joint.
