Positive Jones injury update offers some relief to Mourinho and Man Utd

The Red Devils defender, who has been plagued by fitness issues, limped out of England's international friendly date with Germany at Wembley

Manchester United defender Phil Jones is considered to be “fine” despite limping out of England’s friendly date with Germany.

The versatile 25-year-old lasted just 25 minutes of a glamour clash at Wembley Stadium on Friday.

Jones had been selected from the start by Gareth Southgate, but was struggling from the 10-minute mark.

He endeavoured to run a groin complaint off, but eventually left the field with his thigh heavily strapped.

Southgate has conceded that Jones was nursing the knock when linking up with his country, but does not consider his latest setback to be serious.
