Game over: No more PlayStation for dedicated Jones

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has credited a new dedication to post-match reovery with his return to form and fitness.

Jones suffered a long-term ankle injury in January before then sustaining a knee problem in September which delayed his comeback.

The England international has impressed on his return, however, forming a strong central-defensive partnership with Marcos Rojo as Jose Mourinho's men have overcome a mixed start to the Premier League season to climb to sixth in the table.

Jones' career has been plagued by a series of injuries at United, and previous club Blackburn Rovers, but is hoping a more mature approach to how he recovers after matches will help end those problems.
