Jones has not made a competitive first-team appearance since scoring against Tranmere Rovers in January 2020, because of a persistent knee injury that eventually required surgery and long-term rehabilitation.
However, thanks to his diligent work at Carrington, some behind-closed-doors matches with the seniors and several Under-23 appearances, Phil is thankfully making progress with his fitness.
In a preview of his upcoming UTD Podcast that was published at the weekend, Jones bravely revealed all about the tremendous mental and physical challenges that he has been forced to overcome, not only as a proud United player but also at home as a loving family man.
