The Sunderland striker fractured his wrist in Sunday's final game of the season at home to Arsenal.

It was expected the £6million former Southampton hitman would be forced out of the Port of Spain clash on June 1.

But he is eager to play with a soft cast on the injury and T&T coach Francisco Maturana is expected to name Jones in his squad tomorrow.

T&T team manager David Muhammad said last night: "We spoke to Kenwyne on Monday. Of course, he wants to play.

"But the situation is one we have to monitor before making any final decisions."

Sunderland boss Roy Keane will expect to be kept up to date with any decisions taken over Jones's involvement.

The striker was hurt when he was struck by a powerful shot from Arsenal midfielder Gilberto and was replaced for the second-half by Roy O'Donovan.

Keane will not want to see any risk taken that last season's top scorer could suffer further damage to his arm.

He'll want Jones fully fit by the time Sunderland return for pre-season training in the second week of July.
