EPL: Phil Jones may miss Brazil

Phil Jones has been taken to hospital after
suffering a shoulder injury in the first half of
Manchester United's Premier League clash
with Hull City.
The England international, who had been
expected to be part of Roy Hodgson's 23-man
squad for the World Cup in Brazil this summer,
was forced off in the opening exchanges of the
Old Trafford clash.
Jones sustained the problem with his left
shoulder after a shuddering collision with
Maynor Figueroa in the 17th minute as he
threw himself at a corner from Adnan Januzaj.
The 22-year-old was clearly unhappy as he
left the field grimacing and cursing and he
headed straight down the tunnel for treatment
in the dressing room, with Nemanja Vidic sent
on for his final Old Trafford appearance.
Jones was then taken to a local hospital with
his arm in a sling as a precautionary measure,
but there will be concerns over his place in
Hodgson's squad, which is due to be named
on Monday.
The youngster has been a regular in the party
for his country and is capable of operating at
full-back, centre-back or in the centre of
midfield.
Interim boss Ryan Giggs told Sky Sports after
the match: "He has gone off to hospital to see
what it was. I'm not sure if his shoulder came
out or not.
"Hopefully he'll be OK. It's too near to say
what the condition is."
