Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones is a doubt for Liverpool's visit after going missing, reports the Daily Mail. The Trinidad and Tobago captain is on his way back from the midweek 2-2 draw with Mexico, after playing just 13 minutes as a substitute in Port of Spain.

Boss Steve Bruce dropped the former Southampton striker after a similar long journey back last month.

Bruce said: "Trying to get hold of Kenwyne is like trying to get hold of the Pope I tell you. We have tried to contact him but we don't know where he is.

"I am sure he will show up at some time but in all seriousness we know he played against Mexico on Wednesday for 10 minutes and that's the good thing. I hope he comes back whatever time and he is as fresh as a daisy and will look forward to playing against Liverpool.

"I knew he was absolutely physically shattered before the Hull game. We have all done the 12-14 hour flights and it is the whole scenario with all the geography and changing flights that comes with it and trying to then playing Premier League game is difficult. So I will assess him and Lorik Cana too and I will leave that until the last minute."
