Keane: Jones return will lift Sunderland players

Sunderland boss Roy Keane expects the return of striker Kenwyne Jones to lift his players.

"Aside from his goals, the number of assists he contributed last season was also a big plus," he said. "I think our other strikers will see the benefits of having Kenwyne back - Michael Chopra, Djibril Cisse, Daryl Murphy and Dave Healy.

"Kenwyne is a handful for any defender. I know John Terry said last year when we played against Chelsea that Kenwyne was the toughest centre-forward he had come up against.

"I know exactly what he means!"
