Derby not my inspiration - Jones

Kenwyne Jones
Jones made a return in the reserves 2-0 win against Wigan

Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones has admitted the derby with Newcastle has been a second thought during his battle to recovery from his knee injury.

Jones, 24, made a successful return to reserve-team duty in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Wigan and could figure in Saturday's Tyne-Wear fixture.

"The derby wasn't my inspiration," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.

"It's been a horrible injury, it's been four long months and I've been working hard just to get back playing."

Jones picked up his injury playing for Trinidad & Tobago in June's friendly against England after an accidental collision with goalkeeper David James.
