Jones Can't Wait To Get Back In Action
Blackburn Rovers defender Phil Jones is targeting the Premier League derby with Blackpool on 19 March for his comeback.The 19-year-old, who has made 32 appearances, has missed 11 matches after having knee surgery in December. He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It's going really well. I'm ahead of schedule. I was concerned that I'd done something worse than I actually did." "They operated on it. It went really well, I'm ahead of schedule and I just can't wait to get back out there." The England under-21 international was injured in the 1-1 draw against West Ham, the first match in charge for Rovers manager Steve Kean. Jones said: "Hopefully I'll be back out (on the training pitch) next week doing the warm-up and maybe a bit of training. "And, then the week after that I hope to be back out there training properly." Jones recently signed a one-year contract extension meaning he is now tied to Blackburn until the summer of 2016. Source: BBC Sport
