EXCLUSIVE: Sunderland's Kenwyne Jones - 'The New Drogba' - out until 2009
13 April 2012
Sunderland fear Kenwyne Jones will not play again this year due to a knee ligament injury he sustained playing for Trinidad & Tobago against England.
Manager Roy Keane, faced with the prospect of losing the striker who was dubbed the 'new Didier Drogba' for so long, is resigned to splashing out on a costly replacement.

Keane is already sizing up Spurs' Darren Bent but will be furious at the way Jones was injured. The striker hurt his knee challenging goalkeeper David James in the Port-of-Spain game two weeks ago that was generally dismissed as a PR exercise to try to gain votes for England's 2018 World Cup bid.
