(Reuters) - Manchester United defender Phil Jones will return to the squad for Wednesday's League Cup match against West Ham United following a 20-month injury layoff, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said.

Jones has not played for the club since scoring in their FA Cup win over Tranmere Rovers in January 2020, because of a serious knee issue for which he underwent an operation last summer.

"I'm so happy for Phil," Solskjaer told the club website https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/solskjaer-confirms-jones-in-man-utd-squad-v-west-ham-on-22-september-2021."He has completed two 90 minutes for the Under-23s, played some minutes behind closed doors and he's got no reaction on his knee. He's been working really hard.

England international Jones, who has played more than 200 games in all competitions for the club, said last weekend he had been"through hell and back" as he struggled with injuries. Midfielder Jesse Lingard, who scored a late winner https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/lingard-de-gea-earn-dramatic-late-win-man-united-2021-09-19 in last weekend's dramatic 2-1 Premier League victory at West Ham, would start in Wednesday's match, while defender Alex Telles will also be involved as he returns after recovering from an ankle injury.
