Cardiff City's Kenwyne Jones flies home after "family tragedy"

Cardiff City could be without striker Kenwyne Jones for Tuesday's Championship match against Bolton Wanderers after he flew home to Trinidad and Tobago following a "family tragedy".

Jones took off his shirt after scoring Cardiff's third in the 3-1 win over Leeds United yesterday to reveal a message that said "RIP Deshon + Chibbi".

Last night he tweeted: "Thanks everyone much love."

Cardiff said in a statement on their website: "Following a family tragedy, we ask that Kenwyne and his family are given space and privacy at this difficult time."

Jones, 30, has scored six goals in 13 Championship appearances for the Bluebirds this season.
