Cardiff boss Jones joins critics of Man City rival Mancini training methods

Cardiff City boss Dave Jones has joined the criticism of Roberto Mancini's training methods at Manchester City.

Dutch fitness expert Raymond Verheijen was in Wales last week to help with Craig Bellamy's recovery - and has been using his Twitter site to warn City that Mancini is risking the health of his £350million squad with his gruelling training methods.

Now Jones has added his opinion to the mix.

The Cardiff boss said: "At Manchester City, Craig was training twice a day and that's part of the problem.

"He's probably overtrained. He overdid it and we're paying the penalty for that.

"But everything is on track again. He's looking good. We've just got to make sure we make the right decisions for him."
