Man Utd's Phil Jones out for at least three weeks with thrombosis

Manchester United defender Phil Jones will be sidelined for at least three weeks with "mild thrombosis".

The 23-year-old England defender missed Saturday's opening-day 1-0 Premier League victory over Tottenham at Old Trafford.


He was part of United's pre-season tour of the United States and trained in Manchester this week.
Thrombosis  is the formation of clotting of the blood in a part of the circulatory system.
Jones, who has won 17 England caps, began his career at Blackburn before joining United in 2011.
