Manchester United to welcome Phil Jones back for Chelsea clash?

Jones close to Man Utd return?

Manchester United defender Phil Jones is reportedly expected to make his return from injury against Chelsea in just over a fortnight.

The 20-year-old has had an injury-savaged season so far and has yet to play a game for the Red Devils since suffering a knee problem in September.

It is thought that Jones will return to training at Carrington during the international break with the idea of playing against Chelsea on October 18, according to Goal.com.

Jones has been out of action for eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a cartilage tear on his knee.
