Reports saying that Matt Jones will be out for over 5 months is probably an understatement.

It is more likely that poor Jonesy will be out for a year.

Matt's exploding knee was a severe rupture to his anterior cruciate ligament, a MRI scan revealed today.

Van Nistelroy's move to Man Utd was held up for a year due to a similar injury, and other players such as Gascoigne and Roy Keane have also had it. On some occasions players do not recover enough from it and are forced to retire.

Best wishes to Matt from everyone at FFS. We're gutted for you, kid.
