Kenwyne scan boosts Sunderland

The 25-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international failed to return after the break, and Black Cats boss Steev Bruce later voiced his fears that the frontman could be sidelined for a month with a groin problem. However, scans have shown the injury is not as serious as was first thought and Jones has not yet been ruled out of Saturday's Premier League clash with Birmingham at the Stadium of Light. Bruce told the club's official website: "Kenwyne's had a scan and thankfully, the damage isn't as bad as we first feared. "It's too early to say whether he will make Saturday's game, but we will keep an eye on him, give him all the treatment we can and keep our fingers crossed."
