Manchester United defender Phil Jones is expected to return against Wigan.

Manchester United defender Phil Jones could be back in action against Wigan on Boxing Day, quelling fears that he could miss two months of the season.

The 19-year-old needed an X-ray on a suspected fractured cheekbone after clashing with Fulham's Clint Dempsey on Wednesday, but tests have merely revealed soft tissue damage, rather than a fracture.

Jones, therefore, should be fit to face Wigan on Monday, albeit with the addition of a protective mask.

The former Blackburn defender has made 24 appearances for the Red Devils this season.
