Manchester United centre-back Phil Jones is optimistic that despite his latest game being a substitute not being used. But it’s a good sign that the opportunity to touch the grass floor in official matches is imminent.

Team Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put the name Jones in the active group for the third round of the Carabao Cup game against West Ham yesterday. But unfortunately the 29-year-old was not used, plus the ball lost 0. -1 Park the route from the beginning of the day 

However, the good defender is optimistic as it is the first time in over 19 months that he is closest to his chance of playing. From disappearing from sight to recovering knee pain 

“It was very difficult. I look at it as a footballer. As a person Maybe it’s the lowest point in my life ever,” Jones told the official website.

“You try to keep the balance. during football with family life But it’s really hard to go home and take care of the kids, where you only stay there. stay at home”

         “Life balance is tilted that way. But you haven’t been to another place (football field). You’re in the past. So it’s great that I can balance the two again.”

“At first, frankly. Take it straight It’s very difficult to watch football even in normal times. Because you can’t do anything about it. So you are stuck like that It’s difficult for you to stand and walk. Coming to the training ground every day has become difficult. Because you won’t be playing for a long time. And I know that it only needs to be operated.”

“But really thankful that I have a good team around me. My whole family, friends and I have been through it.”

Jones’ chances of interfering in this league game would be difficult as four centre-backs’ choices were blocked. The possibility is to wait for someone to be injured. The performance on the PSC stage is a heartfelt pass to the knockout rounds quickly or may wait until the tight queue of Boxing Day continues into the new era.
