Jones suffered a meniscus tear in training and would require a rehabilitation period of between six to eight weeks. His absence makes things worse for manager Alex Ferguson, who was already short on defensive options, with Antonio Valencia and Michael Carrick having to cover for the injuries. Jones moved to Old Trafford from Blackburn Rovers last year and made 41 appearances for United in his debut season.
