Brown: too early to say when Jones will return
Port Vale assistant manager Michael Brown says the club is not sure when injured loanee Alex Jones will return to full fitness.
Jones suffered a knee injury in training and there were reports that he would be returning to training soon. However, Brown told the media:
“It’s very premature to say that he will be training next week.
“The latest that we’ve had from Birmingham on that is that he is having a run on an anti-gravity treadmill so hopefully he gets through that and it doesn’t swell up again.
“It will be great if we could have him back but there is a lot of swelling on the knee and we’re in the hands of Birmingham City and we’ll see how that goes.
“We’re getting daily reports.”
